Nehemiah 9:20-22
Contemporary English Version

20 Your gentle Spirit
    instructed them,[a]
and you gave them manna[b] to eat
    and water to drink.
21 You took good care of them,
and for forty years
    they never lacked a thing.
Their clothes didn't wear out,
and their feet were never swollen.

22 (A) You let them conquer kings
    and take their land,
including King Sihon of Heshbon
    and King Og of Bashan.[c]
