9. Yet I exterminated the Amorites before their face, whose height was like the height of cedars, and whose strength was like the oak. And I crushed his fruit from above and his roots below.
10. It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
11. And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, sons of Israel, says the Lord?
12. Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: "Do not prophesy."
13. Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.
14. And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not maintain his strength, and the healthy will not save his life.
15. And one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will not save his life.
16. And the stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
