THE YAH HUDIYM ARE REGRETFUL
And so be it, a great cry of the people and of their women against their brothers the Yah Hudiym. 2 Yes, they who say, We, our sons and our daughters, are many; and we take crop to eat and live. 3 And they who say, We pledge our fields, vineyards and houses, to take crop for the famine. 4 And they who say, We borrowed silver on our fields and vineyards for the measure of the sovereign: 5 and now, our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers - our sons as their sons: and, behold, we subdue our sons and our daughters to be servants and some of our daughters are subdued: and El is not in our hands: for other men have our fields and vineyards. 6 And I inflame mightily when I hear their cry and these words: 7 and my heart reigns over me and I contend with the nobles and the prefects, and say to them, You bear interest - each man of his brother: and I give a great congregation against them. 8 And I say to them, With our ability we chatteled our brothers the Yah Hudiym who were sold to the goyim; And you, sell your brothers? - sell to us? - and they hush and find no word. 9 And I say, The word you work is not good: ought you not to walk in the awe of our Elohim because of the reproach of the goyim our enemies? 10 And also I - and my brothers and my lads, exact silver and crop of them: I beseech you, leave off this interest: 11 restore to them, I beseech you, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards and their houses, silver to the hundredth, and of the crop, the juice and the oil, you exacted of them. 12 And they say, We restore them and seek naught of them; thus we work as you say. And I call the priests and oath them to work according to this word: 13 and I shake my bosom and say, Thus may Elohim shake every man from his house and from his labor who raises not this word - even thus be he shaken out and emptied. And all the congregation says, Amen! - and halals Yah Veh; and the people work according to this word.
