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 Multiplicaste sus hijoscomo las estrellas del cielo;los hiciste entrar en la tierraque bajo juramento les prometiste a sus padres.
24 Y sus hijos entraron en la tierray tomaron posesión de ella.Ante ellos sometiste a los cananeos que la habitaban;les entregaste reyes y pueblos de esa tierra,para que hicieran con ellos lo que quisieran.
25 Conquistaron ciudades fortificadasy una tierra fértil;se adueñaron de casas repletas de bienes,de cisternas, viñedos y olivares,y de gran cantidad de árboles frutales.Comieron y se hartaron y engordaron;¡disfrutaron de tu gran bondad!
26 »Pero fueron desobedientes:se rebelaron contra ti,rechazaron tu ley,mataron a tus profetasque los convocaban a volverse a ti;¡te ofendieron mucho!
27 Por eso los entregaste a sus enemigos,y estos los oprimieron.En tiempo de angustia clamaron a ti,y desde el cielo los escuchaste;por tu inmensa compasión les enviaste salvadorespara que los liberaran de sus enemigos.
