Nehemiah 5:6-11

6And I was veryH3966 angryH2734 when I heardH8085 their cryH2201 and these wordsH1697. 7Then I consultedH4427 with myselfH3820, and I rebukedH7378 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exactH5375H5383H5378 usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them.1 8And I saidH559 unto them, We after our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, which were soldH4376 unto the heathenH1471; and will ye even sellH4376 your brethrenH251? or shall they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peaceH2790, and foundH4672 nothingH1697 to answer. 9Also I saidH559, It is not goodH2896 thatH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341? 10I likewise, and my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and grainH1715: I pray you, let us leave offH5800 this usuryH4855. 11RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their landsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyardsH2132, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 part of the moneyH3701, and of the grainH1715, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exactH5383 of them.
