Nehemiah 5:2-7

2And there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many, and we must procure corn that we may eat and live.

3And there were that said, We have had to pledge our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses, that we might procure corn in the dearth.

4And there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and vineyards;

5yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and behold, we must bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage [already]; neither is it in the power of our hand [to redeem them], for other men have our fields and our vineyards.

6And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

7And I consulted with myself; and I remonstrated with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother! And I set a great assembly against them.
