Nehemiah 5:10-15
10And I likewise, my brethren and my servantsH5288, do lend them moneyH3701 and grainH1715. I pray you, let us leaveH5800 off this usuryH4855. 11RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their fieldsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyards, and their housesH1004, also the hundredth part of the moneyH3701, and of the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exact of them. 12Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; soH3651 will we do, even as thou sayest. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they would do according to this promise. 13AlsoH1571 I shookH5287 out my lap, and saidH559, So GodH430 shakeH5287 out every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labor, that performeth not this promise; even thusH3602 beH1961 he shakenH5287 out, and emptiedH7386. And all the assemblyH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 Jehovah. And the peopleH5971 did according to this promise.
14Moreover from the time that I wasH1961 appointedH6680 to beH1961 their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentieth yearH8141 even unto the twoH8147 and thirtieth yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelve yearsH8141, I and my brethren have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346. 15But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that were before me were chargeable unto the peopleH5971, and tookH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besides fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, even their servantsH5288 bare rule over the peopleH5971: but soH3651 did not I, because of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
