Nehemiah 9:23-30 and you abounded their sons as the stars of the heavens; and brought them to the land, concerning which you said to their fathers, to go in to possess it:

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ and you abounded their sons as the stars of the heavens; and brought them to the land, concerning which you said to their fathers, to go in to possess it: ²⁴ and the sons came in and possessed the land and you subdued at their face the settlers of the land - the Kenaaniy and gave them into their hands - with their sovereigns and the people of the land - to work with them as they pleased: ²⁵ and they captured cut off cities and a fat soil and possessed houses full of all goods, wells hewed, vineyards and oliveyards and food trees in abundance: so they ate and satisfied and fattened and pleased themselves in your great goodness: ²⁶ and they were rebellious and rebelled against you and cast your torah behind their backs and slaughtered your prophets who witnessed against them to turn them to you: and they worked great scornings: ²⁷ and you gave them into the hand of their tribulators who tribulated them: and in the time of their tribulation they cried to you; and you heard from the heavens; and according to your abundant mercies you gave them saviours to save them from the hand of their tribulators: ²⁸ and they rested; and returned to work evil at your face: and you left them in the hand of their enemies to subjugate them: and they returned and cried to you and you heard from the heavens; and many times you rescued them according to your mercies: ²⁹ and witnessed against them to return them to your torah: and they seethe and hearken not to your misvoth; but sin against your judgments - which if a human work, he lives in them; and they gave a revolting shoulder and hardened their neck and hearkened not: ³⁰ and for many years you draw them and witness against them by your Spirit in the hand of your prophets; and they hearkened not: so you gave them into the hand of the people of the lands.
