Nehemiah 5:8 WBT

⁶  And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

⁷  Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact interest, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.

⁸  And I said to them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold to us? Then they held their peace, and found nothing [to answer].

⁹  Also I said, That [is] not good which ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

¹⁰  I likewise, my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
