H1419
And there was a great
H6818
cry
H5971
of the people
H802
and of their wives
H251
against their brethren
H3064
the Jews.
2
H3426
For there were
H559
that said
[H8802]
H1121
, We, our sons
H1323
, and our daughters
H7227
, are many
H3947
: therefore we take up
[H8799]
H1715
corn
H398
for them, that we may eat
[H8799]
H2421
, and live
[H8799]
.
3
H3426
Some also there were
H559
that said
[H8802]
H6148
, We have mortgaged
[H8802]
H7704
our lands
H3754
, vineyards
H1004
, and houses
H3947
, that we might buy
[H8799]
H1715
corn
H7458
, because of the dearth.
4
H3426
There were
H559
also that said
[H8802]
H3867
, We have borrowed
[H8804]
H3701
money
H4428
for the king's
H4060
tribute
H7704
, and that upon our lands
H3754
and vineyards.
5
H1320
Yet now our flesh
H1320
is as the flesh
H251
of our brethren
H1121
, our children
H1121
as their children
H3533
: and, lo, we bring into bondage
[H8802]
H1121
our sons
H1323
and our daughters
H5650
to be servants
H1323
, and some of our daughters
H3426
are
H3533
brought unto bondage
[H8737]
H410
already : neither is it in our power
H3027
H312
to redeem them; for other men
H7704
have our lands
H3754
and vineyards.
6
H3966
And I was very
H2734
angry
[H8799]
H8085
when I heard
[H8804]
H2201
their cry
H1697
and these words.
7
H4427
Then I consulted
[H8735]
H3820
with myself
H7378
, and I rebuked
[H8799]
H2715
the nobles
H5461
, and the rulers
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H5378
unto them, Ye exact
[H8801]
[H8678]
H5383
[H8802]
[H8675]
H5375
[H8802]
H4855
usury
H376
, every one
H251
of his brother
H5414
. And I set
[H8799]
H1419
a great
H6952
assembly against them.
8
H559
And I said
[H8799]
H1767
unto them, We after our ability
H7069
have redeemed
[H8804]
H251
our brethren
H3064
the Jews
H4376
, which were sold
[H8737]
H1471
unto the heathen
H4376
; and will ye even sell
[H8799]
H251
your brethren
H4376
? or shall they be sold
[H8738]
H2790
unto us? Then held they their peace
[H8686]
H4672
, and found
[H8804]
H1697
nothing to answer .
9
H559
Also I said
[H8799]
H2896
, It is not good
H1697
that
H6213
ye do
[H8802]
H3212
: ought ye not to walk
[H8799]
H3374
in the fear
H430
of our God
H2781
because of the reproach
H1471
of the heathen
H341
our enemies
[H8802]
?
10
H251
I likewise, and my brethren
H5288
, and my servants
H5383
, might exact
[H8802]
H3701
of them money
H1715
and corn
H5800
: I pray you, let us leave off
[H8799]
H4855
this usury.
11
H7725
Restore
[H8685]
H3117
, I pray you, to them, even this day
H7704
, their lands
H3754
, their vineyards
H2132
, their oliveyards
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 ye exact
[H8802]
of them.
