  • Neh 5:2-9 : 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. 12 Then they said, We will restore them, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say. Then I called the priests and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise. 13 I also shook out the fold of my garment and said, So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. Even so may he be shaken out and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
