Nehemiah 5:7-11

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.
