God's Past Grace and Israel's Rebellion

Amos 2:9-12

"I destroyed the Emori before them; though tall as cedars and strong as oaks, I destroyed their fruit above and their root below.

More than that, I brought you up from Egypt, led you forty years in the desert, so that you could have the Emori's land.

I raised up some of your sons to be prophets, other young men of yours to be n'zirim. People of Isra'el! Isn't that true?" asks ADONAI.

But you gave the n'zirim wine to drink and ordered the prophets, 'Don't prophesy!'
