AMOS 2:9

Og dog var det mig, som udrydded Amoritterne foran eder, høje som Cedertræer, stærke som Egetræer, udrydded deres Frugt foroven som og deres Rødder forneden.

¶ Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
