Nehemiah 9:24-26
Contemporary English Version
24 (A) Then their descendants
conquered the land.
You helped them defeat
the kings and nations
and treat their enemies
however they wished.
25 (B) They captured strong cities
and rich farmland;
they took furnished houses,
as well as cisterns,[a]
vineyards, olive orchards,
and numerous fruit trees.
They ate till they were satisfied,
and they celebrated
your abundant blessings.
26 (C)(D) In spite of this, they rebelled
and disobeyed your laws.
They killed your prophets,
who warned them
to turn back to you,
and they cursed your name.
Footnotes
- 9.25 cisterns: Pits dug into the ground to hold water.
