Nehemiah 9:23-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

²³ “You made their sons numerous as ^(A)the stars of heaven,
And You brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.
²⁴ “^(B)So their sons entered and possessed the land.
And ^(C)You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land,
To do with them ^[a]as they desired.
²⁵ “^(D)They captured fortified cities and a ^[b](E)fertile land.
They took possession of ^(F)houses full of every good thing,
Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves,
Fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate, were filled and ^(G)grew fat,
And ^(H)reveled in Your great goodness.
