Nehemiah 5:7

Nehemiah Deals With Strife

⁶ And it angered me greatly, - when I heard their outcry, and these words. ⁷ So my heart took counsel unto me and I contended with the nobles and with the deputies, and said to them, A loan on interest - every man to his brother, are ye making, - So I appointed over them a great assembly; ⁸ and I said unto them, We, have bought our brethren the Jews, who had sold themselves unto the nations, according to our ability, and will, ye, even sell your brethren, or shall they sell themselves unto us? And they were silent, and found no answer.
