2 For there were who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain that we may eat and live.
3 There were some also who said, We are mortgaging our fields and our vineyards and our houses. Let us get grain because of the dearth.
4 There were also who said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards. 5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our sons as their sons. And behold, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already. Neither is it in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards.
