strkjv@Nehemiah:5:7
@ Then I
consulted
with
myself
, and I
rebuked
the
nobles
, and the
rulers
, and
said
unto them, Ye
exact
usury
, every
one
of his
brother
. And I
set
a
great
assembly
against them.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:8
@ And I
said
unto them, We after our
ability
have
redeemed
our
brethren
the
Jews
, which were
sold
unto the
heathen
; and will ye even
sell
your
brethren
? or shall they be
sold
unto us? Then held they their
peace
, and
found
nothing
to answer.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:9
@ Also I
said
, It is not
good
that
ye
do
: ought ye not to
walk
in the
fear
of our
God
because of the
reproach
of the
heathen
our
enemies
?
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:10
@ I likewise, and my
brethren
, and my
servants
, might
exact
of them
money
and
corn
: I pray you, let us leave
off
this
usury
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:11
@
Restore
, I pray you, to them, even this
day
, their
lands
, their
vineyards
, their
oliveyards
, and their
houses
, also the
hundredth
part of the
money
, and of the
corn
, the
wine
, and the
oil
, that ye
exact
of them.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:12
@ Then
said
they, We will
restore
them, and will
require
nothing of them; so will we
do
as thou
sayest
. Then I
called
the
priests
, and took an
oath
of them, that they should
do
according to this
promise
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:13
@ Also I
shook
my
lap
, and
said
, So
God
shake
out
every
man
from his
house
, and from his
labour
, that
performeth
not this
promise
, even thus be he shaken
out
, and
emptied
. And all the
congregation
said
,
Amen
, and
praised
the
LORD
. And the
people
did
according to this
promise
.
