Nehemiah 5:18-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because of the heavy burden of labor on the people. ¹⁹ Remember for my good, O my God, all that I have done for this people.
