Nehemiah 9:23-25

New Century Version

²³ You made their children as many as the stars in the sky,
    and you brought them into the land
    that you told their ancestors to enter and take over.
²⁴ So their children went into the land and took over.
    The Canaanites lived there, but you defeated them for our ancestors.
You handed over to them the Canaanites, their kings, and the people of the land.
    Our ancestors could do what they wanted with them.
²⁵ They captured strong, walled cities and fertile land.
    They took over houses full of good things,
    wells that were already dug,
    vineyards, olive trees, and many fruit trees.
They ate until they were full and grew fat;
    they enjoyed your great goodness.
