Nehemiah 5:2-5

LXX2012(i) 2 And some said, We [are] numerous with our sons and our daughters; so we will take corn, and eat, and live. 3 And some said, [As to] our fields and vineyards and houses, let us pledge [them], and we will take corn, and eat. 4 And some said, We have borrowed money for the king's tributes:—our fields, and our vineyards, and houses [are pledged]. 5 And now our flesh [is] as the flesh of our brethren, our children [are] as their children: yet, behold, we are reducing our sons and our daughters to slavery, and some of our daughters are enslaved: and there is no power of our hands, for our fields and our vineyards [belong] to the nobles.
