Nehemiah 5:14-19

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. 16Yea, also I continued in the workH4399 of this wallH2346, neitherH3808 boughtH7069 weH8033 anyH3605 landH7704: and allH3605 my servantsH5288 were gatheredH6908 thither unto the workH4399. 17Moreover there were at my tableH7979 of the JewsH3064 and the rulersH5461 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376, besideH5921 thoseH834 that cameH935 unto usH413 from among the heathen that were roundH5439 aboutH5439 usH413. 18NowH1961 that whichH834 was preparedH6213 for one dayH3117 was one oxH7794 and sixH8337 choiceH1305 sheepH6629; also fowls were preparedH6213 for meH5921, and onceH259 in tenH6235 daysH3117 store of allH3605 sorts of wineH3196: yet for allH3605 this I demanded notH3808 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346, becauseH3588 the bondageH5656 was heavyH3513 uponH5921 this peopleH5971. 19RememberH2142 unto meH5921, O my GodH430, for goodH2896, allH3605 that I have doneH6213 for this peopleH5971.
