Nehemiah 5:10-15
10And I likewise, my brethrenH251 and my servantsH5288, doH589 lend them moneyH3701 and corn on usuryH4855. I prayH4994 youH853, letH4994 usH4994 leaveH5800 offH853 this usuryH4855.
11RestoreH7725, I prayH4994 youH859, to them, even this dayH3117, their fieldsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyards, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 partH859 of the moneyH3701, and of the corn, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exact of them.
12Then saidH559 they, WeH834 will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothingH3808 of them; soH3651 will weH834 doH6213, evenH3808 as thou sayest. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and tookH853 an oathH7650 of them, that they should doH6213 according to this promiseH1697.
13Also I shookH5287 outH3605 my lap, and saidH559, SoH6213 GodH430 shakeH5287 outH3605 everyH3605 manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labour, that performeth notH3808 this promiseH1697; evenH1571 thusH3602 be he shakenH5287 outH3605, and emptiedH7386. And allH3605 the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 accordingH3602 to this promiseH1697.
14MoreoverH1571 from the time that I was appointedH6680 to be their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 evenH1571 unto the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelveH6240 yearsH8141, I and my brethrenH251 have notH3808 eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346.
15But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that were beforeH6440 meH6440 were chargeable unto the peopleH5971, and tookH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besideH5921 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bare rule over the peopleH5971: but soH3651 didH6213 notH3808 I, becauseH5921 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
