Nehemiah 9:23-25
New American Standard Bible
23 You made their sons as 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 took possession of the land.
And (C)You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
And You handed them over to them, 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,
Carved out cisterns, vineyards, olive groves,
Fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate, were filled and (G)put on fat,
And (H)lived luxuriously in Your great goodness.
