Nehemiah 9:22–26

²²“Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,

And divided them into ⁸districts.

So they took possession of the land of ^rSihon,

⁹The land of the king of Heshbon,

And the land of Og king of Bashan.

²³You also multiplied ^stheir children as the stars of heaven,

And brought them into the land

Which You had told their fathers

To go in and possess.

²⁴So ^tthe ¹people went in

And possessed the land;

^uYou subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,

The Canaanites,

And gave them into their hands,

With their kings

And the people of the land,

That they might do with them as they wished.

²⁵And they took strong cities and a ^vrich land,

And possessed ^whouses full of all goods,

Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,

And ²fruit trees in abundance.

So they ate and were filled and ^xgrew fat,

And delighted themselves in Your great ^ygoodness.

²⁶“Nevertheless they ^zwere disobedient

And rebelled against You,

^aCast Your law behind their backs

And killed Your ^bprophets, who ³testified against them

To turn them to Yourself;

And they worked great provocations.
