Rotherham(i)
1 Then came there to be a great outcry of the people and their wives,––against their brethren the Jews.
2 And there were some who were saying, Our sons and our daughters, are we pledging,––that we may obtain corn, and eat, and keep ourselves alive.
3 And there were some who were saying, Our fields and our vineyards and our houses, are we pledging,––that we may obtain corn in the dearth.
4 And there were others who were saying, We have borrowed silver, for the king’s tribute,––[upon] our lands and our vineyards.
5 Now, therefore, as is the flesh of our brethren, so is our flesh, as are their children, so are our children. Yet lo! we are putting in subjection our sons and our daughters, for bondservants, yea there are some of our daughters already trodden down, and we are powerless, and, our fields and our vineyards, belong to others.
6 And it angered me greatly,––when I heard their outcry, and these words.
