Nehemiah 5:7-9

7Then I consulted with myself, and contendedH7378 with the nobles and the rulers, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exact usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I held a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them. 8And I saidH559 unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the JewsH3064, that were soldH4376 unto the nationsH1471; and would ye even sellH4376 your brethren, and should they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peace, and foundH4672 never a wordH1697. 9Also I saidH559, The thingH1697 that ye do is not goodH2896: ought ye not to walk in the fearH3374 of our GodH430, because of the reproachH2781 of the nationsH1471 our enemiesH341?
