Nehemiah 5:10

Nehemiah Deals With Strife

⁹ Also I said, "It is not good, that ye do. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of God because of the rebuke of the Heathen our enemies? ¹⁰ I and my brethren, and my servants have lent them money and corn: but as for usury, let us leave it. ¹¹ Therefore this same day see that ye restore them their lands again, their vineyards, oil gardens, and houses, and the hundredth part of the money of the corn, wine, and oil, that ye have won of them."
