Nehemiah 5:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk ^(A)in the fear of our God ^(B)to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies? ¹⁰ Moreover, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this exacting of interest. ¹¹ Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the percentage of money, grain, wine, and oil that you have been exacting from them.”
