Amos 2:9 - The Message

"In contrast, I was always on your side.
   I destroyed the Amorites who confronted you,
Amorites with the stature of great cedars,
   tough as thick oaks.
I destroyed them from the top branches down.
   I destroyed them from the roots up.
And yes, I’m the One who delivered you from Egypt,
   led you safely through the wilderness for forty years
And then handed you the country of the Amorites
   like a piece of cake on a platter.
I raised up some of your young men to be prophets,
   set aside your best youth for training in holiness.
Isn’t this so, Israel?"
   God’s Decree.
