Nehemiah 5:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Then I said, “What you are doing is not ·right [good]. ·Don’t you fear [^LShould you not walk in fear of] God [Prov. 1:7]? Don’t let our ·foreign [Gentile] enemies shame us. ¹⁰ I, my ·brothers [colleagues], and my ·men [servants] are lending money and grain to the people. But stop charging them ·for this [interest]. ¹¹ Give back their fields, vineyards, olive trees, and houses ·right now [^Lthis very day]. Also give back the ·extra amount [interest] you charged—·the hundredth part [one percent] of the money, grain, new wine, and oil.”
