Nehemiah 9:23-25
Contemporary English Version
23 (A) You brought them into the land
that you had promised
their ancestors,
and you blessed their nation
with people that outnumbered
the stars in the sky.
24 (B) Then their descendants
conquered the land.
You helped them defeat
the kings and nations
and treat their enemies
however they wished.
25 (C) They captured strong cities
and rich farmland;
they took furnished houses,
as well as cisterns,[a]
vineyards, olive orchards,
and numerous fruit trees.
They ate till they were satisfied,
and they celebrated
your abundant blessings.
Footnotes
