Amos 2:11 Context
9¶ Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the Cedars, and hee was strong as the okes, yet I destroyed his fruite from aboue, and his rootes from beneath. 10Also I brought you vp from the land of Egypt, and ledde you fourtie yeeres through the wildernesse, to possesse the land of the Amorite. 11And I raised vp of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not euen thus, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord ? 12But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commaunded the Prophets, saying, Prophecie not. 13Behold, I am pressed vnder you, as a cart is pressed that is ful of sheaues.
