AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

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.
