Listen to Nehemías 9:25
25 Y capturaron ciudades fortificadas y una tierra fértil. Tomaron posesión de casas llenas de toda cosa buena, cisternas excavadas, viñas y olivares, y árboles frutales en abundancia. Y comieron, se saciaron, engordaron y se deleitaron en tu gran bondad.

Nehemías 9:25 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:25

And they took strong cities
Such as, in an hyperbolical way, are said to be walled up to heaven, ( Deuteronomy 1:28 )

and a fat land;
of a good and fruitful soil, abounding with all good things, ( Deuteronomy 8:7 Deuteronomy 8:8 )

and possessed houses full of all goods;
ready built and furnished for them, both with good provisions and good furniture:

wells digged;
to supply them with water:

vineyards, and olive yards, and fruit trees in abundance;
which they planted not:

and they did eat, and were filled, and became fat;
in body, though in mind became wanton and wicked; they made their hearts fat, or stupid, as Aben Ezra interprets it, see ( Deuteronomy 32:15 ) ( Isaiah 6:10 )

and delighted themselves in thy great goodness;
not in praising the Lord for it, and using it to his honour and glory, but indulged themselves to luxury and intemperance; though it may be understood of a lawful pleasure in the enjoyment of the great affluence they were brought into, which last agrees with what follows.

Nehemías 9:25 In-Context

23 Y multiplicaste sus hijos como las estrellas del cielo, y los llevaste a la tierra que habías dicho a sus padres que entraran a poseerla.
24 Y entraron los hijos y poseyeron la tierra. Y tú sometiste delante de ellos a los habitantes de la tierra, a los cananeos, y los entregaste en su mano, con sus reyes y los pueblos de la tierra, para hacer con ellos como quisieran.
25 Y capturaron ciudades fortificadas y una tierra fértil. Tomaron posesión de casas llenas de toda cosa buena, cisternas excavadas, viñas y olivares, y árboles frutales en abundancia. Y comieron, se saciaron, engordaron y se deleitaron en tu gran bondad.
26 Pero fueron desobedientes y se rebelaron contra ti, echaron tu ley a sus espaldas, mataron a tus profetas que los amonestaban para que se volvieran a ti, y cometieron grandes blasfemias.
27 Entonces los entregaste en mano de sus enemigos, que los oprimieron, pero en el tiempo de su angustia clamaron a ti, y tú escuchaste desde el cielo, y conforme a tu gran compasión les diste libertadores que los libraron de mano de sus opresores.
