And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned [in] the house of their god (2:8) Yet 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 (2:9) Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite (2:10) And 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 (2:11) But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not (2:12) Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves (2:13) Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: (2:14) Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself (2:15) And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord
(2:16)
