“Yet I destroyed the Amorites(A) before them,
    though they were tall(B) as the cedars
    and strong as the oaks.(C)
I destroyed their fruit above
    and their roots(D) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(E)
    and led(F) you forty years in the wilderness(G)
    to give you the land of the Amorites.(H)

11 “I also raised up prophets(I) from among your children
    and Nazirites(J) 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.(K)

13 “Now then, I will crush you
    as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(L)
14 The swift will not escape,(M)
    the strong(N) will not muster their strength,
    and the warrior will not save his life.(O)
15 The archer(P) will not stand his ground,
    the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
    and the horseman(Q) will not save his life.(R)
16 Even the bravest warriors(S)
    will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.
