Nehemiah 5:8-13
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. 12Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; so will we doH6213 as thou sayestH559. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they should doH6213 according to this promiseH1697. 13Also I shookH5287 my lapH2684, and saidH559, So GodH430 shake outH5287 every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labourH3018, that performethH6965 not this promiseH1697, even thus be he shaken outH5287, and emptiedH7386. And all the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 according to this promiseH1697.1
