Nehemiah 5:1-7

ECB(i) 1
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.
