Nehemiah 9:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 So the children[a] went in and took possession of the land. You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites; you gave them into their hand, and their kings and the nations of the land to do with them according to their pleasure. 25 And they captured fortified cities and a fertile land and took possession of houses filled with every good thing: hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, and many fruit trees. They ate and became full, and they became fat and took delight in your great goodness.
26 “But they rebelled and were rebellious against you and cast your law[b] behind their back and killed your prophets, who had warned them to turn back to you, and they did great blasphemies.
