And I set a great assembly against them. 8 And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. 9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our emies? 10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them moy and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their viyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the moy, and of the corn, the wi, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
