Nehemiah 5:7-9
7So I thoughtH4427H3820 it overH4427 and contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 and the leadingH5461 peopleH5461, and saidH559 to them, “1You are lendingH5377 at interestH4855, eachH376 to his brotherH251!” Therefore, I heldH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 againstH5921 them.
8And I saidH559 to them, “We, according to our abilityH1767, 2have 3redeemedH7069 our JewishH3064 brothersH251 who were soldH4376 to the nationsH1471; now would you evenH1571 sellH4376 your brothersH251 that they may be soldH4376 to us?” Then they wereH2790 silentH2790 and could not findH4672 a wordH1697 to say.
9So I saidH559, “The thingH1697 whichH834 you are doingH6213 is not goodH2896; should you not walkH1980 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 becauseH4480 of 4the tauntingH2781 of the nationsH1471, our enemiesH340?
