Nehemiah 5:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]I said also, That which ye do, is not good. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, for the [b]reproach of the heathen our enemies?
10 For even I, my brethren, and my servants do lend them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this [c]burden.
11 Restore, I pray you, unto them this day their lands, their vineyards, their olives, and their houses, and remit the hundredth part of the silver and of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil [d]that ye exact of them.
