2 And there were some yt sayde: oure sonnes and doughters are to many, let vs take corne for the, & eate, that we maye lyue.
3 Some saide: Let vs set or londes, vynyardes & houses to pledge, & take vp corne in the derth.
4 But some saide: Let vs borowe money of the kinge vpo vsury for oure londes and vynyardes.
5 Now are oure brethrens bodies as oure awne bodies, and their children as oure children: els shulde we subdue oure sonnes and doughters vnto bondage, and some of oure doughters are subdued allready, and no strength is there in oure handes, and other men shal haue oure londes and vynyardes.
6 But whan I herde their complaynte and soch wordes, it displeased me sore,
