    15 The former governors who were before me placed heavy burdens on the people, taking food and wine from them, in addition to forty shekels of silver. Even their servants oppressed the people. But because of the fear of God, I did not act like that.

    16 Instead, I devoted myself to the work on this wall. We did not acquire any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

    17 Moreover, there were at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, as well as those who came to us from the surrounding nations.

    18 Each day, one ox, six choice sheep, and some birds were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundance of wine of all kinds. Despite this, I did not demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was heavy.

    19 Remember me with favor, O my God, for all that I have done for these people.

    8 I said to them, 'We have redeemed our fellow Jews who were sold to the nations, as much as we were able. Now, you are selling your own people, only for them to be sold back to us!' They stayed silent, unable to say a word.

Let him be shaken out and left empty!' The entire assembly said, 'Amen,' and they praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
