Nehemiah 9:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 And they took their strong cities and the fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, cisterns dug out, vineyards and olives, and trees for food in abundance, and they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and lived in pleasure through thy great goodness.
26 Yet they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy Law behind their backs, and slew thy Prophets (which [a]protested among them to turn them unto thee) and committed great blasphemies.
27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies that vexed them: yet in the time of their affliction, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from the heaven, and through thy great mercies thou gavest them saviors, who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.

Nehemiah 9:25-27
New International Version
25 They captured fortified cities and fertile land;(A) they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things,(B) wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished;(C) they reveled in your great goodness.(D)
26 “But they were disobedient and rebelled against you; they turned their backs on your law.(E) They killed(F) your prophets,(G) who had warned them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful blasphemies.(H) 27 So you delivered them into the hands of their enemies,(I) who oppressed them. But when they were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven you heard them, and in your great compassion(J) you gave them deliverers,(K) who rescued them from the hand of their enemies.
