16:009:021 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so
           that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and
           their feet swelled not.

16:009:022 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst
           divide them into corners:  so they possessed the land of Sihon,
           and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king
           of Bashan.

16:009:023 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven,
           and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst
           promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess
           it.

16:009:024 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou
           subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the
           Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their
           kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with
           them as they would.

16:009:025 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed
           houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and
           oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance:  so they did eat, and
           were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy
           great goodness.

16:009:026 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee,
           and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets
           which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they
           wrought great provocations.

16:009:027 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their
           enemies, who vexed them:  and in the time of their trouble,
           when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and
           according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours,
           who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

16:009:028 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: 
           therefore leftest thou them in the land of their enemies, so
           that they had the dominion over them:  yet when they returned,
           and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many
           times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

16:009:029 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them
           again unto thy law:  yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not
           unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments,
           (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the
           shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

16:009:030 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst
           against them by thy spirit in thy prophets:  yet would they not
           give ear:  therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the
           people of the lands.
