Nehemiah 5:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 But the former governors who were before me [a]laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so (A)because of the fear of God. 16 I also [b]applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work. 17 Moreover, (B)there were at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us.
