Nehemiah 5

AKJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H1419 And there was a great H6818 cry H5971 of the people H802 and of their wives H413 against H251 their brothers H3064 the Jews.
  2 H559 For there were that said, H1121 We, our sons, H1323 and our daughters, H7227 are many: H3947 therefore we take H1715 up corn H398 for them, that we may eat, H2421 and live.
  3 H559 Some also there were that said, H6148 We have mortgaged H7704 our lands, H3754 vineyards, H1004 and houses, H3947 that we might buy H1715 corn, H7458 because of the dearth.
  4 H559 There were also that said, H3867 We have borrowed H3701 money H4428 for the king’s H4060 tribute, H7704 and that on our lands H3754 and vineyards.
  5 H6258 Yet now H1320 our flesh H1320 is as the flesh H251 of our brothers, H1121 our children H1121 as their children: H2009 and, see, H3533 we bring H3533 into bondage H1121 our sons H1323 and our daughters H5650 to be servants, H1323 and some of our daughters H3533 are brought H3533 to bondage H369 already: neither H3027 is it in our power H312 to redeem them; for other H582 men H7704 have our lands H3754 and vineyards.
  6 H3966 And I was very H2734 angry H834 when H8085 I heard H2201 their cry H428 and these H1697 words.
  7 H4427 Then I consulted H7378 with myself, and I rebuked H2715 the nobles, H5461 and the rulers, H559 and said H5378 to them, You exact H5383 usury, H376 every H376 one H251 of his brother. H5414 And I set H1419 a great H6952 assembly H5921 against them.
  8 H559 And I said H1767 to them, We after H1767 our ability H7069 have redeemed H251 our brothers H3064 the Jews, H4376 which were sold H1471 to the heathen; H1571 and will you even H4376 sell H251 your brothers? H4376 or shall they be sold H2790 to us? Then held H2790 they their peace, H4672 and found H3808 nothing H1696 to answer.
  9 H559 Also I said, H2896 It is not good H6213 that you do: H3212 ought you not to walk H3374 in the fear H430 of our God H2781 because of the reproach H1471 of the heathen H341 our enemies?
  10 H1571 I likewise, H251 and my brothers, H5288 and my servants, H5383 might exact H3701 of them money H1715 and corn: H4994 I pray H5800 you, let us leave H2088 off this H5383 usury.
  11 H7725 Restore, H4994 I pray H3117 you, to them, even this day, H7704 their lands, H3754 their vineyards, H2132 their olive groves, H1004 and their houses, H3967 also the hundredth H3701 part of the money, H1715 and of the corn, H8492 the wine, H3323 and the oil, H5383 that you exact of them.
  12 H559 Then said H7725 they, We will restore H1245 them, and will require H3808 nothing H3651 of them; so H6213 will we do H559 as you say. H7121 Then I called H3548 the priests, H7650 and took an oath H6213 of them, that they should do H2088 according to this H1697 promise.
  13 H1571 Also H5287 I shook H2684 my lap, H559 and said, H3602 So H430 God H5287 shake H376 out every man H1004 from his house, H3018 and from his labor, H6965 that performes H2088 not this H1697 promise, H3602 even H3602 thus H5287 be he shaken H7386 out, and emptied. H3605 And all H6951 the congregation H559 said, H543 Amen, H1984 and praised H3068 the LORD. H5971 And the people H6213 did H2088 according to this H1697 promise.
  14 H1571 Moreover H3117 from the time H6680 that I was appointed H6346 to be their governor H776 in the land H3063 of Judah, H6242 from the twentieth H8141 year H8147 even to the two H7970 and thirtieth H8141 year H783 of Artaxerxes H4428 the king, H8147 that is, twelve H6240 H8141 years, H251 I and my brothers H398 have not eaten H3899 the bread H6346 of the governor.
  15 H7223 But the former H6346 governors H6440 that had been before H3513 me were chargeable H5971 to the people, H3947 and had taken H3899 of them bread H3196 and wine, H310 beside H705 forty H8255 shekels H3701 of silver; H1571 yes, H5288 even their servants H7980 bore H7980 rule H5921 over H5971 the people: H3651 but so H6213 did H6440 not I, because H3374 of the fear H430 of God.
  16 H1571 Yes, H1571 also H2388 I continued H4399 in the work H2063 of this H2346 wall, H3808 neither H7069 bought H7704 we any land: H3605 and all H5288 my servants H6908 were gathered H8033 thither H4399 to the work.
  17 H5921 Moreover there were at H7979 my table H3967 an hundred H2572 and fifty H3064 of the Jews H5461 and rulers, H935 beside those that came H4480 to us from among H1471 the heathen that are about us.
  18 H834 Now that which H6213 was prepared H3117 for me daily H259 H259 was one H7794 ox H8337 and six H1305 choice H6629 sheep; H6833 also fowls H6213 were prepared H996 for me, and once H6235 in ten H3117 days H7235 store H3605 of all H3196 sorts of wine: H5973 yet for all H2088 this H1245 required H3899 not I the bread H6346 of the governor, H3588 because H5656 the bondage H3513 was heavy H2088 on this H5971 people.
  19 H2142 Think H430 on me, my God, H2896 for good, H3605 according to all H6213 that I have done H2088 for this H5971 people.
