9. “But it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them.The Amorites were tall like cedar trees and as strong as oaks.But I destroyed them completely.
10. It was I who brought you from the land of Egypt.For 40 years I led you through the desert.I led you so I could give you the land of the Amorites.
11. I made some of your sons to be prophets.I made some of your young men to be Nazirites.People of Israel, isn’t this true?” says the Lord.
12. “But you made the Nazirites drink wine.You told the prophets not to prophesy my message.
13. Now I will crush youas a wagon loaded with grain crushes anything beneath it.
14. No one will escape, not even the fastest runner.Strong men will not be strong enough.Warriors will not be able to save themselves.
15. Soldiers with bows and arrows will not stand and fight.Even soldiers who run quickly will not get away.Soldiers on horses will not escape alive.
16. At that time even the bravest warriorswill run away without their armor,” says the Lord.
