Nehemiah 5:7-9

7Then I consulted with myselfH3820, and contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exact usuryH4855, everyH376 one of his brotherH251. And I heldH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 againstH5921 them.

8And I saidH559 unto them, WeH587 afterH1767 our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, whichH1471 were soldH4376 unto the heathen; and would ye evenH1571 sellH4376 your brethrenH251, and should they be soldH4376 unto usH559? Then held they their peace, and foundH4672 neverH3808 a wordH1697.

9Also I saidH559, The thingH1697 that ye doH6213 is notH3808 goodH2896: ought ye notH3808 to walk in the fearH3374 of our GodH430, becauseH834 of the reproachH2781 of the heathen our enemiesH341?
