Nehemiah 9:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ You made their children as numerous
    as the stars of the heavens,
and you brought them into the land
    which you had commanded their fathers to enter and possess.
²⁴ “The sons entered and took possession of the land,
and you subdued the Canaanite inhabitants
    and delivered them into your power,
their kings as well as the peoples of the land,
    to deal with them as they pleased.
²⁵ They captured fortified towns and fertile land;
    they took possession of houses
    filled with all kinds of good things,
cisterns already dug, vineyards,
    olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance.
They ate and had their fill, grew fat,
    and found delight in your great goodness.
