Some of our daughters are already enslaved, and we are powerless to do anything about it, since our fields and vineyards now belong to others.' 6 When I heard their outcry and these words, I became extremely angry. 7 I took counsel with myself, and then I confronted the nobles and officials, saying to them, 'You are exacting interest from your own people!' So I called together a large assembly to deal with them.
