9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the aAmorite before them,
Though his bheight was like the height of cedars,
And he was strong as the oaks;
I even destroyed his cfruit above and his root below.
10 And it was I who abrought you up from the land of Egypt,
And I led you in the wilderness bforty years
That you might take possession of the land of the cAmorite.
11 Then I araised up some of your sons to be prophets
And some of your choice men to be bNazirites.
Is this not so, O sons of Israel?” declares Yahweh.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
And you commanded the prophets saying, ‘You ashall not prophesy!’
