Nehemiah 9:25

And they took strong cities and a fat land, Numbers 13:27, and possessed houses full of all goods, Deuteronomy 6:11, wells digged, that is, the cisterns which are used so extensively in the Orient, vineyards and olive-yards and fruit-trees in abundance. So they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, literally, "made themselves fat," Deuteronomy 32:15, and delighted themselves in Thy great goodness. The contrast between this merciful kindness on the part of the Lord and the wickedness of the people is now again emphasized.
