H1419
And there was a great
H6818
cry
H5971
of the people
H802
and of their wives
H413
against
H251
their brothers
H3064
the Jews.
2
H559
For there were that said,
H1121
We, our sons,
H1323
and our daughters,
H7227
are many:
H3947
therefore we take
H1715
up corn
H398
for them, that we may eat,
H2421
and live.
3
H559
Some also there were that said,
H6148
We have mortgaged
H7704
our lands,
H3754
vineyards,
H1004
and houses,
H3947
that we might buy
H1715
corn,
H7458
because of the dearth.
4
H559
There were also that said,
H3867
We have borrowed
H3701
money
H4428
for the king’s
H4060
tribute,
H7704
and that on our lands
H3754
and vineyards.
5
H6258
Yet now
H1320
our flesh
H1320
is as the flesh
H251
of our brothers,
H1121
our children
H1121
as their children:
H2009
and, see,
H3533
we bring
H3533
into bondage
H1121
our sons
H1323
and our daughters
H5650
to be servants,
H1323
and some of our daughters
H3533
are brought
H3533
to bondage
H369
already: neither
H3027
is it in our power
H312
to redeem them; for other
H582
men
H7704
have our lands
H3754
and vineyards.
6
H3966
And I was very
H2734
angry
H834
when
H8085
I heard
H2201
their cry
H428
and these
H1697
words.
7
H4427
Then I consulted
H7378
with myself, and I rebuked
H2715
the nobles,
H5461
and the rulers,
H559
and said
H5378
to them, You exact
H5383
usury,
H376
every
H376
one
H251
of his brother.
H5414
And I set
H1419
a great
H6952
assembly
H5921
against them.
8
H559
And I said
H1767
to them, We after
H1767
our ability
H7069
have redeemed
H251
our brothers
H3064
the Jews,
H4376
which were sold
H1471
to the heathen;
H1571
and will you even
H4376
sell
H251
your brothers?
H4376
or shall they be sold
H2790
to us? Then held
H2790
they their peace,
H4672
and found
H3808
nothing
H1696
to answer.
9
H559
Also I said,
H2896
It is not good
H6213
that you do:
H3212
ought you not to walk
H3374
in the fear
H430
of our God
H2781
because of the reproach
H1471
of the heathen
H341
our enemies?
10
H1571
I likewise,
H251
and my brothers,
H5288
and my servants,
H5383
might exact
H3701
of them money
H1715
and corn:
H4994
I pray
H5800
you, let us leave
H2088
off this
H5383
usury.
11
H7725
Restore,
H4994
I pray
H3117
you, to them, even this day,
H7704
their lands,
H3754
their vineyards,
H2132
their olive groves,
H1004
and their houses,
H3967
also the hundredth
H3701
part of the money,
H1715
and of the corn,
H8492
the wine,
H3323
and the oil,
H5383
that you exact of them.
12
H559
Then said
H7725
they, We will restore
H1245
them, and will require
H3808
nothing
H3651
of them; so
H6213
will we do
H559
as you say.
H7121
Then I called
H3548
the priests,
H7650
and took an oath
H6213
of them, that they should do
H2088
according to this
H1697
promise.
13
H1571
Also
H5287
I shook
H2684
my lap,
H559
and said,
H3602
So
H430
God
H5287
shake
H376
out every man
H1004
from his house,
H3018
and from his labor,
H6965
that performes
H2088
not this
H1697
promise,
H3602
even
H3602
thus
H5287
be he shaken
H7386
out, and emptied.
H3605
And all
H6951
the congregation
H559
said,
H543
Amen,
H1984
and praised
H3068
the LORD.
H5971
And the people
H6213
did
H2088
according to this
H1697
promise.
