Nehemiah 5:2-5 For some were saying, With our sons and our daughters, we are many. let us take up grain for them, so that we may eat and live.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² For some were saying, With our sons and our daughters, we are many. let us take up grain for them, so that we may eat and live. ³ Some also were saying, We have mortgaged our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses; let us take up grain because of the famine. ⁴ And some were saying, We have borrowed silver for the king's tax, on our fields, and our vineyards, ⁵ yet now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers; as their sons, so are our sons; and, behold, we are bringing our sons and our daughters into bondage, to be slaves; yea, there are some of our daughters brought into bondage. And there is no power for our hand, and our fields and our vineyards are to other men.
