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 to them, Ye exactH5378H5383 interestH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them.1 8And I saidH559 to them, We after our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, who were soldH4376 to the heathenH1471; and will ye even sellH4376 your brethrenH251? or shall they be soldH4376 to us? Then they held their peaceH2790, and foundH4672 nothingH1697 to answer . 9Also I saidH559, That is not goodH2896 whichH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341? 10I likewise, my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and grainH1715: I pray you, let us stopH5800 charging interestH4855. 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.
