Amos 2:11 in context

1. 9Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
   whose height was like the height of the cedars,
   and he was strong as the oaks;
   yet I destroyed his fruit from above,
   and his roots from beneath.
2. 10Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
   and led you forty years in the wilderness,
   to possess the land of the Amorite.
3. 11I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
   and some of your young men for Nazirites.
   Isn’t this true,
   you children of Israel?” says Yahweh.
4. 12“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
   and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
5. 13Behold, I will crush you in your place,
   as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
