6 And it angered me greatly,––when I heard their outcry, and these words. 7 So my heart took counsel unto me and I contended with the nobles and with the deputies, and said to them, A loan on interest––every man to his brother, are ye making,––So I appointed over them a great assembly; 8 and I said unto them, We, have bought our brethren the Jews, who had sold themselves unto the nations, according to our ability, and will, ye, even sell your brethren, or shall they sell themselves unto us? And they were silent, and found no answer. 9 Then said I, Not good, is the thing which ye are doing,––ought ye not, in the fear of God, to walk, because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? 10 I too, then, my brethren and my young men, might be lending unto them on interest silver and corn! I pray you, let us leave off this lending on interest! 11 Restore, I pray you, unto them this very day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses,––also the hundredth of silver and corn, new wine and oil, for which ye have been lending to them. 12 And they said, We will restore them, and, from them, will we require nothing, so, will we do, as thou, art saying. Then called I the priests, and put them on oath, to do according to this promise. 13 Also, my lap, shook I out, and said––Thus and thus, may God shake out every man who shall not confirm this promise, out of his house and out of his labour, yea, thus and thus, let him be shaken out and empty,––And all the convocation said, Amen! and praised Yahweh, and the people did according to this promise.
