II] :To profane my holy name:
 * And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar,
 * And they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
 * 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.
 * Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
 * And led you forty years through the wilderness,
 * To possess the land of the Amorite.
 * And I raised up of your sons for prophets,
 * And of your young men for Nazarites.
 * Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
 * But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink;
 * And commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
 * Behold, I am pressed under you,
 * As a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
 * Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift,
 * And the strong shall not strengthen his force,
 * Neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
 * Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow;
 * And he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself:
 * Neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
