10 I brought you up out of Egypt(A)
    and led(B) you forty years in the wilderness(C)
    to give you the land of the Amorites.(D)

11 “I also raised up prophets(E) from among your children
    and Nazirites(F) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.

    and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(G)

    and the warrior will not save his life.(K)

    the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
    and the horseman(M) will not save his life.(N)

    will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.
