In context
7That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the maid, to profane my holy name:
8And they lay down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned the house of their god.
9Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height like the height of the cedars, and he strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
