And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. The entrance into the land is described as fulfillment of the promise. Israel received cities, fields, and a fertile land that it had not produced through its own efforts. Abundance is interpreted as God’s gift and therefore makes the later forgetting of its giver more serious.

Und sie gewannen feste Städte und ein fettes Land und nahmen Häuser ein voll allerlei Güter, ausgehauene Brunnen, Weinberge, Ölgärten und Bäume, davon man ißt, die Menge, und sie aßen und wurden satt und fett und lebten in Wonne durch deine große Güte.
Y tomaron ciudades fortalecidas, y tierra pingüe, y heredaron casas llenas de todo bien, cisternas hechas, viñas y olivares, y muchos árboles de comer; y comieron, y hartáronse, y engrosáronse, y deleitáronse en tu grande bondad.
Tomaron ciudades fortificadas y tierra fértil. Poseyeron casas llenas de toda cosa buena, cisternas excavadas, viñedos, olivares y árboles frutales en abundancia. Comieron, se saciaron, engordaron y se deleitaron en tu gran bondad.
Ils devinrent maîtres de villes fortifiées et de terres fertiles; ils possédèrent des maisons remplies de toutes sortes de biens, des citernes creusées, des vignes, des oliviers, et des arbres fruitiers en abondance; ils mangèrent, ils se rassasièrent, ils s'engraissèrent, et ils vécurent dans les délices par ta grande bonté.
Talchè presero delle città forti, ed un paese grasso; e possedettero case piene d’ogni bene, pozzi cavati, vigne, uliveti, ed alberi fruttiferi, in abbondanza; e mangiarono, e si saziarono, e s’ingrassarono, e vissero in delizie per li tuoi gran beni.
E tomaram cidades fortificadas e terra fértil, e possuíram casas cheias de toda a fartura, cisternas cavadas, vinhas e olivais, e árvores frutíferas, em abundância; e comeram e se fartaram e engordaram e viveram em delícias, pela tua grande bondade.
他們得了堅固的城鎮、肥沃的土地,取了裝滿各樣美物的房屋、挖成的水井、葡萄園、橄欖園,以及許多果樹。他們就吃了,而且飽足,身體肥胖,因你的大恩活得快樂。
