  • Neh 5:1-9 : 1 And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their fellow Jews. 2 For there were those who said, We, our sons, and our daughters are many: therefore we need to take grain for them, that we may eat and live. 3 Others said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses to buy grain because of the famine. 4 There were also those who said, We have borrowed money for the king's tax, against our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and indeed, we bring into bondage our sons and daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are already in bondage; nor is it in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7 Then I consulted with myself and rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, You are charging interest, each one from his brother. And I called a great assembly against them. 8 And I said to them, According to our ability, we have redeemed our fellow Jews who were sold to the nations; and will you even sell your brethren, or should they be sold to us? Then they were silent and found nothing to answer. 9 Also I said, What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? 10 I likewise, and my brethren and my servants, could demand money and grain from them. I pray you, let us stop this interest. 11 Restore to them, I pray you, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil, that you are charging them.

    9Has walked in My statutes, and has kept My judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, says the Lord GOD.

    10If he begets a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and does any of these things,

    11And does not do any of those duties, but has eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,

    12Has oppressed the poor and needy, has spoiled by violence, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,

    13Has given out loans with interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

    14Now, if he begets a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and considers and does not do such like,

    15Who has not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,

    16Nor has oppressed anyone, has not withheld the pledge, nor spoiled by violence, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment,

    17Who has taken off his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed My judgments, has walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

    18As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did what is not good among his people, behold, even he shall die in his iniquity.

    19Yet you say, ‘Why? Does not the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
