Nehemiah 5:1-3

1Now there was a great outcry of the [poorer] people and their wives against their Jewish brothers [to whom they were deeply in debt].

2For there were some who were saying, “We, along with our sons and our daughters, are many; therefore allow us to get grain, so that we may eat and survive.”

3There were others who were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to buy grain because of the famine.”
