  • Neh 5:1-9 : 1 And there was a great{H1419} cry{H6818} of the people{H5971} and of their wives{H802} against their brethren{H251} the Jews{H3064}. 2 For there were{H3426} that said{H559}{(H8802)}, We, our sons{H1121}, and our daughters{H1323}, are many{H7227}: therefore we take up{H3947}{(H8799)} corn{H1715} for them, that we may eat{H398}{(H8799)}, and live{H2421}{(H8799)}. 3 Some also there were{H3426} that said{H559}{(H8802)}, We have mortgaged{H6148}{(H8802)} our lands{H7704}, vineyards{H3754}, and houses{H1004}, that we might buy{H3947}{(H8799)} corn{H1715}, because of the dearth{H7458}. 4 There were{H3426} also that said{H559}{(H8802)}, We have borrowed{H3867}{(H8804)} money{H3701} for the king's{H4428} tribute{H4060}, and that upon our lands{H7704} and vineyards{H3754}. 5 Yet now our flesh{H1320} is as the flesh{H1320} of our brethren{H251}, our children{H1121} as their children{H1121}: and, lo, we bring into bondage{H3533}{(H8802)} our sons{H1121} and our daughters{H1323} to be servants{H5650}, and some of our daughters{H1323} are{H3426} brought unto bondage{H3533}{(H8737)} already: neither is it in our power{H410}{H3027} to redeem them; for other men{H312} have our lands{H7704} and vineyards{H3754}. 6 And I was very{H3966} angry{H2734}{(H8799)} when I heard{H8085}{(H8804)} their cry{H2201} and these words{H1697}. 7 Then I consulted{H4427}{(H8735)} with myself{H3820}, and I rebuked{H7378}{(H8799)} the nobles{H2715}, and the rulers{H5461}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Ye exact{H5378}{(H8801)}{(H8678)}{H5383}{(H8802)}{(H8675)}{H5375}{(H8802)} usury{H4855}, every one{H376} of his brother{H251}. And I set{H5414}{(H8799)} a great{H1419} assembly{H6952} against them. 8 And I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, We after our ability{H1767} have redeemed{H7069}{(H8804)} our brethren{H251} the Jews{H3064}, which were sold{H4376}{(H8737)} unto the heathen{H1471}; and will ye even sell{H4376}{(H8799)} your brethren{H251}? or shall they be sold{H4376}{(H8738)} unto us? 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)}.

And all the congregation{H6951} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Amen{H543}, and praised{H1984}{(H8762)} the LORD{H3068}. And the people{H5971} did{H6213}{(H8799)} according to this promise{H1697}.
