And drink the wine of1 the condemned in the house of their god.
Whose height was like the bheight of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I cdestroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
And bled you forty years through the wilderness,
To possess the land of the Amorite.
And some of your young men as bNazirites.
Is it not so, O you children of Israel?”
Says the Lord.
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
bNor shall the mighty1 deliver himself;
| << Amos 2:9 | Amos 2:11 >> |
