9  “Yet ^xit was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,

^ywhose height was like the height of the cedars

and who was as strong as the oaks;

^zI destroyed his fruit above

and his roots beneath.

10  ^aAlso it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt

^band led you forty years in the wilderness,

^xto possess the land of the Amorite.
