Amos 2:9-13
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

9'Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Though his height was like the height of cedars And he was as strong as the oaks; I also destroyed his fruit above and his roots below. 10And it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you in the wilderness for forty years So that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite. 11Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets, And some of your young men to be Nazirites. Is this not so, you sons of Israel?' declares the Lord. 12'But you made the Nazirites drink wine, And you commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy!’ 13Behold, I am making a rut in the ground beneath you, Just as a wagon makes a rut when filled with sheaves.
King James Version

Chapter 2

9Yet destroyed I 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.
10Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
12But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 2

9Yet I destroyed the Amorite as Israel advanced; his height was like the cedars, and he was as sturdy as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath. 10And I brought you from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness in order to possess the land of the Amorite.
11I raised up some of your sons as prophets and some of your young men as Nazirites. Is this not the case, Israelites? This is the Lord’s declaration.
12But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets, "Do not prophesy." 13Look, I am about to crush you in your place as a wagon crushes when full of grain.
New Living Translation

Chapter 2

9'But as my people watched, I destroyed the Amorites, though they were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed the fruit on their branches and dug out their roots. 10It was I who rescued you from Egypt and led you through the desert for forty years, so you could possess the land of the Amorites. 11I chose some of your sons to be prophets and others to be Nazirites. Can you deny this, my people of Israel?' asks the Lord. 12'But you caused the Nazirites to sin by making them drink wine, and you commanded the prophets, ‘Shut up!’
13'So I will make you groan like a wagon loaded down with sheaves of grain.
English Standard Version

Chapter 2

9"Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath. 10 Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 11And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" declares the Lord. 12"But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’ 13"Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.

Chapter 2

9"Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them, though they were tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed their fruit above and their roots below.
10I brought you up out of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to give you the land of the Amorites. 11"I also raised up prophets from among your children and Nazirites from among your youths. Is this not true, people of Israel?" declares the Lord.
12"But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy. 13"Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.
New King James Version

9“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Whose height was like the height of the cedars, And he was as strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit above And his roots beneath. 10Also it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you forty years through the wilderness, To possess the land of the Amorite. 11I raised up some of your sons as prophets, And some of your young men as Nazirites. Is it not so, O you children of Israel?” Says the Lord. 12“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, And commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’ 13“Behold, I am weighed down by you, As a cart full of sheaves is weighed down.
