Nehemiah 5:10-12

10I myself, as well as my brothers and my workers, have been lending the people money and grain, but now let us stop this business of charging interest.

11You must restore their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and homes to them this very day. And repay the interest you charged when you lent them money, grain, new wine, and olive oil.”

12They replied, “We will give back everything and demand nothing more from the people. We will do as you say.” Then I called the priests and made the nobles and officials swear to do what they had promised.
