Nehemiah 9:22–26

²²“You gave them kingdoms and nations, allotting to them even the remotest frontiers. They took over the country of Sihon^cp king of Heshbon and the country of Og king of Bashan.^{q 23}You made their children as numerous as the stars in the sky,^r and you brought them into the land that you told their parents to enter and possess. ²⁴Their children went in and took possession of the land.^s You subdued^t before them the Canaanites, who lived in the land; you gave the Canaanites into their hands, along with their kings and the peoples of the land, to deal with them as they pleased. ²⁵They captured fortified cities and fertile land;^u they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things,^v wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished;^w they reveled in your great goodness.^x

²⁶“But they were disobedient and rebelled against you; they turned their backs on your law.^y They killed^z your prophets,^a who had warned them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful blasphemies.^b
