Nehemiah 5:10-15
10I alsoH1571, my brethren and my servantsH5288, we might exact usuryH4855 of them, moneyH3701 and corn. I pray you, let us leaveH5800 off this usuryH4855.
11RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them this very dayH3117 their fieldsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their olive-gardens, and their housesH1004, also the hundredth [part] of the moneyH3701, and of the corn, the wineH8492 and the oilH3323, that ye have exacted of them.
12And they saidH559, We will restoreH7725 [them], and will requireH1245 nothing of them; soH3651 will we do, as thou hast saidH559. And I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they should do according to this promise.
13AlsoH1571 I shookH5287 my lap, and saidH559, So 1GodH430 shakeH5287 out every manH376 from his houseH1004 and from his earnings, that performeth not this promise: even thusH3602 beH1961 he shakenH5287 out and emptiedH7386! And all the congregation saidH559, AmenH543! And they 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 to the thirty-second yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, twelve yearsH8141, I and my brethren have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346.
15But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that were before me had been chargeable to the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besides fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701: even their servantsH5288 bore rule over the peopleH5971. But I did not soH3651, because of the fearH3374 of 2GodH430.
