Nehemiah 5:1-19

And there was a great
<01419>

cry
<06818>

of the people
<05971>

and of their wives
<0802>

against their brethren
<0251>

the Jews
<03064>_.

For there were
<03426>

that said
<0559> (8802)_,

We, our sons
<01121>_,

and our daughters
<01323>_,

[are] many
<07227>_:

therefore we take up
<03947> (8799)

corn
<01715>

[for them], that we may eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and live
<02421> (8799)_.

[Some] also there were
<03426>

that said
<0559> (8802)_,

We have mortgaged
<06148> (8802)

our lands
<07704>_,

vineyards
<03754>_,

and houses
<01004>_,

that we might buy
<03947> (8799)

corn
<01715>_,

because of the dearth
<07458>_.

There were
<03426>

also that said
<0559> (8802)_,

We have borrowed
<03867> (8804)

money
<03701>

for the king's
<04428>

tribute
<04060>_,

[and that upon] our lands
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_.

Yet now our flesh
<01320>

[is] as the flesh
<01320>

of our brethren
<0251>_,

our children
<01121>

as their children
<01121>_:

and, lo, we bring into bondage
<03533> (8802)

our sons
<01121>

and our daughters
<01323>

to be servants
<05650>_,

and [some] of our daughters
<01323>

are
<03426>

brought unto bondage
<03533> (8737)

[already]: neither [is it] in our power
<0410> <03027>

[to redeem them]; for other men
<0312>

have our lands
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_.

And I was very
<03966>

angry
<02734> (8799)

when I heard
<08085> (8804)

their cry
<02201>

and these words
<01697>_.

Then I consulted
<04427> (8735)

with myself
<03820>_,

and I rebuked
<07378> (8799)

the nobles
<02715>_,

and the rulers
<05461>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye exact
<05378> (8801) (8678) <05383> (8802) (8675) <05375> (8802)

usury
<04855>_,

every one
<0376>

of his brother
<0251>_.

And I set
<05414> (8799)

a great
<01419>

assembly
<06952>

against them. {I consulted...: Heb. my heart consulted in me}

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, We after our ability
<01767>

have redeemed
<07069> (8804)

our brethren
<0251>

the Jews
<03064>_,

which were sold
<04376> (8737)

unto the heathen
<01471>_;

and will ye even sell
<04376> (8799)

your brethren
<0251>_?

or shall they be sold
<04376> (8738)

unto us? Then held they their peace
<02790> (8686)_,

and found
<04672> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

[to answer].

Also I said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] not good
<02896>

that
<01697>

ye do
<06213> (8802)_:

ought ye not to walk
<03212> (8799)

in the fear
<03374>

of our God
<0430>

because of the reproach
<02781>

of the heathen
<01471>

our enemies
<0341> (8802)_?

I likewise, [and] my brethren
<0251>_,

and my servants
<05288>_,

might exact
<05383> (8802)

of them money
<03701>

and corn
<01715>_:

I pray you, let us leave off
<05800> (8799)

this usury
<04855>_.

Restore
<07725> (8685)_,

I pray you, to them, even this day
<03117>_,

their lands
<07704>_,

their vineyards
<03754>_,

their oliveyards
<02132>_,

and their houses
<01004>_,

also the hundredth
<03967>

[part] of the money
<03701>_,

and of the corn
<01715>_,

the wine
<08492>_,

and the oil
<03323>_,

that ye exact
<05383> (8802)

of them.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they, We will restore
<07725> (8686)

[them], and will require
<01245> (8762)

nothing of them; so will we do
<06213> (8799)

as thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_.

Then I called
<07121> (8799)

the priests
<03548>_,

and took an oath
<07650> (8686)

of them, that they should do
<06213> (8800)

according to this promise
<01697>_.

Also I shook
<05287> (8804)

my lap
<02684>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

So God
<0430>

shake out
<05287> (8762)

every man
<0376>

from his house
<01004>_,

and from his labour
<03018>_,

that performeth
<06965> (8686)

not this promise
<01697>_,

even thus be he shaken out
<05287> (8803)_,

and emptied
<07386>_.

And all the congregation
<06951>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_,

and praised
<01984> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the people
<05971>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to this promise
<01697>_.

{emptied: Heb. empty, or, void}

Moreover from the time
<03117>

that I was appointed
<06680> (8765)

to be their governor
<06346>

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_,

from the twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

even unto the two
<08147>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of Artaxerxes
<0783>

the king
<04428>_,

[that is], twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>_,

I and my brethren
<0251>

have not eaten
<0398> (8804)

the bread
<03899>

of the governor
<06346>_.

But the former
<07223>

governors
<06346>

that [had been] before
<06440>

me were chargeable
<03513> (8689)

unto the people
<05971>_,

and had taken
<03947> (8799)

of them bread
<03899>

and wine
<03196>_,

beside
<0310>

forty
<0705>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_;

yea, even
<01571>

their servants
<05288>

bare rule
<07980> (8804)

over the people
<05971>_:

but so did
<06213> (8804)

not I, because
<06440>

of the fear
<03374>

of God
<0430>_.

Yea, also I continued
<02388> (8689)

in the work
<04399>

of this wall
<02346>_,

neither bought
<07069> (8804)

we any land
<07704>_:

and all my servants
<05288>

[were] gathered
<06908> (8803)

thither unto the work
<04399>_.

Moreover [there were] at my table
<07979>

an hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572> <0376>

of the Jews
<03064>

and rulers
<05461>_,

beside those that came
<0935> (8802)

unto us from among the heathen
<01471>

that [are] about us
<05439>_.

Now [that] which was prepared
<06213> (8737)

[for me] daily
<03117>

[was] one
<0259>

ox
<07794>

[and] six
<08337>

choice
<01305> (8803)

sheep
<06629>_;

also fowls
<06833>

were prepared
<06213> (8738)

for me, and once in ten
<06235>

days
<03117>

store
<07235> (8687)

of all sorts of wine
<03196>_:

yet for all
<05973>

this required
<01245> (8765)

not I the bread
<03899>

of the governor
<06346>_,

because the bondage
<05656>

was heavy
<03513> (8804)

upon this people
<05971>_.

Think
<02142> (8798)

upon me, my God
<0430>_,

for good
<02896>_,

[according] to all that I have done
<06213> (8804)

for this people
<05971>_.
