Nehemiah 5:6–11
6 I became extremely angrym when I heard their outcry and these complaints. 7 After seriously considering the matter, I accused the nobles and officials, saying to them, “Each of you is charging his countrymen interest.”n So I called a large assembly against them 8 and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish countrymen who were sold to foreigners, but now you sell your own countrymen, and we have to buy them back.”o They remained silent and could not say a word.p 9 Then I said, “What you are doing isn’t right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our Godq and not invite the reproach of our foreign enemies?r 10 Even I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending them money and grain. Please, let’s stop charging this interest.F 11 Return their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses to them immediately, along with the percentageG of the money, grain, new wine, and fresh oils that you have been assessing them.”
