Nehemiah 5:3 WBT

¹  And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

²  For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, [are] many: therefore we take up corn [for them], that we may eat, and live.

³  [Some] also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.

⁴  There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, [and that upon] our lands and vineyards.

⁵  Yet now our flesh [is] as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and [some] of our daughters are brought to bondage [already]: neither [is it] in our power [to redeem them]; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
