Then held they their peace{H2790}{(H8686)}, and found{H4672}{(H8804)} nothing{H1697} to answer. 9 Also I said{H559}{(H8799)}, It is not good{H2896} that{H1697} ye do{H6213}{(H8802)}: ought ye not to walk{H3212}{(H8799)} in the fear{H3374} of our God{H430} because of the reproach{H2781} of the heathen{H1471} our enemies{H341}{(H8802)}? 10 I likewise, and my brethren{H251}, and my servants{H5288}, might exact{H5383}{(H8802)} of them money{H3701} and corn{H1715}: I pray you, let us leave off{H5800}{(H8799)} this usury{H4855}. 11 Restore{H7725}{(H8685)}, I pray you, to them, even this day{H3117}, their lands{H7704}, their vineyards{H3754}, their oliveyards{H2132}, and their houses{H1004}, also the hundredth{H3967} part of the money{H3701}, and of the corn{H1715}, the wine{H8492}, and the oil{H3323}, that ye exact{H5383}{(H8802)} of them. 12 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} they, We will restore{H7725}{(H8686)} them, and will require{H1245}{(H8762)} nothing of them; so will we do{H6213}{(H8799)} as thou sayest{H559}{(H8802)}.
