Amos 2:11 in Context — Amos 2
9 Et pourtant j’ai détruit devant eux les Amoréens, Dont la hauteur égalait celle des cèdres, Et la force celle des chênes; J’ai détruit leurs fruits en haut, Et leurs racines en bas.
10 Et pourtant je vous ai fait monter du pays d’Égypte, Et je vous ai conduits quarante ans dans le désert, Pour vous mettre en possession du pays des Amoréens.
11 J’ai suscité parmi vos fils des prophètes, Et parmi vos jeunes hommes des naziréens. N’en est-il pas ainsi, enfants d’Israël? Dit l’Éternel…
12 Et vous avez fait boire du vin aux naziréens! Et aux prophètes vous avez donné cet ordre: Ne prophétisez pas!
13 Voici, je vous écraserai, Comme foule la terre un chariot chargé de gerbes.
