²⁴ So the descendants went in and possessed the land.
        Before them, you subdued the Canaanites who inhabited the land.
        You also handed over to them their kings and the neighboring peoples,
            to do with as they wished.
²⁵ They captured fortified cities and productive land,
        and took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things,
            excavated cisterns, vineyards, olive orchards, and a great many fruit trees.
They ate until they were satisfied and grew fat,
        and delighted themselves in your great goodness.

²⁶ But they were disobedient, rebelled against you,
        and turned their back on your Instruction.
They killed your prophets who had warned them so that they might return to you.
        They held you in great contempt.
