Nehemiah 9:21-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. Forty years in the desert you sustained them:they did not want;Their garments did not become worn,and their feet did not swell.

22. You gave them kingdoms and peoples,which you divided among them as border lands.They possessed the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon,and the land of Og, king of Bashan.

23. You made their children as numerous as the stars of the heavens,and you brought them into the landwhich you had commanded their ancestors to enter and possess.

24. The children went in to possess the land;you humbled before them the Canaanite inhabitantsand gave them into their power,Their kings and the peoples of the land,to do with them as they wished.

25. They captured fortified cities and fertile land;they took possession of houses filled with all good things,Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,and fruit trees in abundance.They ate and had their fill,fattened and feasted on your great goodness.
