NSB(i)
2 Some said: »We with our sons and our daughters are a great number. Let us get grain, so that we may have food for our needs.«
3 There were some who said: »We are giving our fields and our vine-gardens and our houses for debt. Let us get grain because we are in need.«
4 Yet others said: »We have given up our fields and our vine-gardens to get money for the king's taxes.
5 »But our flesh is the same as the flesh of our countrymen, and our children as their children. Now we give our sons and daughters into the hands of others, to be their servants. Some of our daughters are servants even now. We have no power to stop this. For other men have our fields and our vine-gardens.«
