New King James Version
2 “Some remove (A)landmarks;
They seize flocks violently and feed on them;
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
They (B)take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4 They push the needy off the road;
All the (C)poor of the land are forced to hide.
5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,
They go out to their work, searching for food.
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 They gather their fodder in the field
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
7 They (D)spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And (E)huddle around the rock for want of shelter.
9 “Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,
And take a pledge from the poor.
10 They cause the poor to go naked, without (F)clothing;
And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
11 They press out oil within their walls,
And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
12 The dying groan in the city,
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
Yet God does not charge them with wrong.

and force all the poor(E) of the land into hiding.(F)
5 Like wild donkeys(G) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(H) of foraging food;
the wasteland(I) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(J) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(K) of the wicked.(L)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(M)
8 They are drenched(N) by mountain rains
and hug(O) the rocks for lack of shelter.(P)
9 The fatherless(Q) child is snatched(R) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(S) for a debt.(T)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(U)
they carry the sheaves,(V) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(W) yet suffer thirst.(X)
12 The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.(Y)
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.(Z)

Nehemiah Deals with Oppression
5 And there was a great (A)outcry of the people and their wives against their (B)Jewish brethren. 2 For there were those who said, “We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”
3 There were also some who said, “We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine.”
4 There were also those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now (C)our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we (D)are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards.”

Nehemiah Helps the Poor
5 Now the men and their wives raised a great outcry against their fellow Jews. 2 Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain.”
3 Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields,(A) our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine.”(B)
4 Still others were saying, “We have had to borrow money to pay the king’s tax(C) on our fields and vineyards. 5 Although we are of the same flesh and blood(D) as our fellow Jews and though our children are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery.(E) Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others.”(F)
