Nehemiah 5:1-13

5:1

And there was a great
<01419>

cry
<06818>

of the people
<05971>

and of their wives
<0802>

against their brethren
<0251>

the Jews
<03064>_.

5:2

For there were
<03426>

that said
<0559> (8802)_,

We, our sons
<01121>_,

and our daughters
<01323>_,

[are] many
<07227>_:

therefore we take up
<03947> (8799)

corn
<01715>

[for them], that we may eat
<0398> (8799)_,

and live
<02421> (8799)_.

5:3

[Some] also there were
<03426>

that said
<0559> (8802)_,

We have mortgaged
<06148> (8802)

our lands
<07704>_,

vineyards
<03754>_,

and houses
<01004>_,

that we might buy
<03947> (8799)

corn
<01715>_,

because of the dearth
<07458>_.

5:4

There were
<03426>

also that said
<0559> (8802)_,

We have borrowed
<03867> (8804)

money
<03701>

for the king's
<04428>

tribute
<04060>_,

[and that upon] our lands
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_.

5:5

Yet now our flesh
<01320>

[is] as the flesh
<01320>

of our brethren
<0251>_,

our children
<01121>

as their children
<01121>_:

and, lo, we bring into bondage
<03533> (8802)

our sons
<01121>

and our daughters
<01323>

to be servants
<05650>_,

and [some] of our daughters
<01323>

are
<03426>

brought unto bondage
<03533> (8737)

[already]: neither [is it] in our power
<0410> <03027>

[to redeem them]; for other men
<0312>

have our lands
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_.

5:6

And I was very
<03966>

angry
<02734> (8799)

when I heard
<08085> (8804)

their cry
<02201>

and these words
<01697>_.

5:7

Then I consulted
<04427> (8735)

with myself
<03820>_,

and I rebuked
<07378> (8799)

the nobles
<02715>_,

and the rulers
<05461>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye exact
<05378> (8801) (8678) <05383> (8802) (8675) <05375> (8802)

usury
<04855>_,

every one
<0376>

of his brother
<0251>_.

And I set
<05414> (8799)

a great
<01419>

assembly
<06952>

against them. {I consulted...: Heb. my heart consulted in me}

5:8

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, We after our ability
<01767>

have redeemed
<07069> (8804)

our brethren
<0251>

the Jews
<03064>_,

which were sold
<04376> (8737)

unto the heathen
<01471>_;

and will ye even sell
<04376> (8799)

your brethren
<0251>_?

or shall they be sold
<04376> (8738)

unto us? Then held they their peace
<02790> (8686)_,

and found
<04672> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

[to answer].

5:9

Also I said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] not good
<02896>

that
<01697>

ye do
<06213> (8802)_:

ought ye not to walk
<03212> (8799)

in the fear
<03374>

of our God
<0430>

because of the reproach
<02781>

of the heathen
<01471>

our enemies
<0341> (8802)_?

5:10

I likewise, [and] my brethren
<0251>_,

and my servants
<05288>_,

might exact
<05383> (8802)

of them money
<03701>

and corn
<01715>_:

I pray you, let us leave off
<05800> (8799)

this usury
<04855>_.

5:11

Restore
<07725> (8685)_,

I pray you, to them, even this day
<03117>_,

their lands
<07704>_,

their vineyards
<03754>_,

their oliveyards
<02132>_,

and their houses
<01004>_,

also the hundredth
<03967>

[part] of the money
<03701>_,

and of the corn
<01715>_,

the wine
<08492>_,

and the oil
<03323>_,

that ye exact
<05383> (8802)

of them.

5:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they, We will restore
<07725> (8686)

[them], and will require
<01245> (8762)

nothing of them; so will we do
<06213> (8799)

as thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_.

Then I called
<07121> (8799)

the priests
<03548>_,

and took an oath
<07650> (8686)

of them, that they should do
<06213> (8800)

according to this promise
<01697>_.

5:13

Also I shook
<05287> (8804)

my lap
<02684>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

So God
<0430>

shake out
<05287> (8762)

every man
<0376>

from his house
<01004>_,

and from his labour
<03018>_,

that performeth
<06965> (8686)

not this promise
<01697>_,

even thus be he shaken out
<05287> (8803)_,

and emptied
<07386>_.

And all the congregation
<06951>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_,

and praised
<01984> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the people
<05971>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to this promise
<01697>_.

{emptied: Heb. empty, or, void}

Deuteronomy 15:1-3

15:1

At the end
<07093>

of [every] seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)

a release
<08059>_.

15:2

And this [is] the manner
<01697>

of the release
<08059>_:

Every creditor
<01167> <04874> <03027>

that lendeth
<05383> (8686)

[ought] unto his neighbour
<07453>

shall release
<08058> (8800)

[it]; he shall not exact
<05065> (8799)

[it] of his neighbour
<07453>_,

or of his brother
<0251>_;

because it is called
<07121> (8804)

the LORD'S
<03068>

release
<08059>_.

{creditor: Heb. master of the lending of his hand}

15:3

Of a foreigner
<05237>

thou mayest exact
<05065> (8799)

[it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother
<0251>

thine hand
<03027>

shall release
<08058> (8686)_;

Deuteronomy 15:7-9

15:7

If there be among you a poor man
<034>

of one
<0259>

of thy brethren
<0251>

within any
<0259>

of thy gates
<08179>

in thy land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, thou shalt not harden
<0553> (8762)

thine heart
<03824>_,

nor shut
<07092> (8799)

thine hand
<03027>

from thy poor
<034>

brother
<0251>_:

15:8

But thou shalt open
<06605> (8799)

thine hand
<03027>

wide
<06605> (8800)

unto him, and shalt surely
<05670> (8687)

lend
<05670> (8686)

him sufficient
<01767>

for his need
<04270>_,

[in that] which he wanteth
<02637> (8799)_.

15:9

Beware
<08104> (8734)

that there be not a thought
<01697>

in thy wicked
<01100>

heart
<03824>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>_,

the year
<08141>

of release
<08059>_,

is at hand
<07126> (8804)_;

and thine eye
<05869>

be evil
<07489> (8804)

against thy poor
<034>

brother
<0251>_,

and thou givest
<05414> (8799)

him nought; and he cry
<07121> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>

against thee, and it be sin
<02399>

unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}

Matthew 6:12

6:12

And
<2532>

forgive
<863> (5628)

us
<2254>

our
<2257>

debts
<3783>_,

as
<2532> <5613>

we
<2249>

forgive
<863> (5719)

our
<2257>

debtors
<3781>_.

Matthew 18:27-35

18:27

Then
<1161>

the lord
<2962>

of that
<1565>

servant
<1401>

was moved with compassion
<4697> (5679)_,

and loosed
<630> (5656)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

forgave
<863> (5656)

him
<846>

the debt
<1156>_.

18:28

But
<1161>

the same
<1565>

servant
<1401>

went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and found
<2147> (5627)

one
<1520>

of his
<846>

fellowservants
<4889>_,

which
<3739>

owed
<3784> (5707)

him
<846>

an hundred
<1540>

pence
<1220>_:

and
<2532>

he laid hands
<2902> (5660)

on him
<846>_,

and took [him] by the throat
<4155> (5707)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Pay
<591> (5628)

me
<3427>

that
<3748>

thou owest
<3784> (5719)_.

{pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}

18:29

And
<3767>

his
<846>

fellowservant
<4889>

fell down
<4098> (5631)

at
<1519>

his
<846>

feet
<4228>_,

and besought
<3870> (5707)

him
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Have patience
<3114> (5657)

with
<1909>

me
<1698>_,

and
<2532>

I will pay
<591> (5692)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>_.

18:30

And
<1161>

he would
<2309> (5707)

not
<3756>_:

but
<235>

went
<565> (5631)

and cast
<906> (5627)

him
<846>

into
<1519>

prison
<5438>_,

till
<2193> <3757>

he should pay
<591> (5632)

the debt
<3784> (5746)_.

18:31

So
<1161>

when his
<846>

fellowservants
<4889>

saw
<1492> (5631)

what was done
<1096> (5637)_,

they were very
<4970>

sorry
<3076> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

came
<2064> (5631)

and told
<1285> (5656)

unto their
<846>

lord
<2962>

all
<3956>

that was done
<1096> (5637)_.

18:32

Then
<5119>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>_,

after that he had called
<4341> (5666)

him
<846>_,

said
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

O thou wicked
<4190>

servant
<1401>_,

I forgave
<863> (5656)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>

that
<1565>

debt
<3782>_,

because
<1893>

thou desiredst
<3870> (5656)

me
<3165>_:

18:33

Shouldest
<1163> (5713)

not
<3756>

thou
<4571>

also
<2532>

have had compassion
<1653> (5658)

on thy
<4675>

fellowservant
<4889>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

I
<1473>

had pity
<1653> (5656)

on thee
<4571>_?

18:34

And
<2532>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>

was wroth
<3710> (5685)_,

and delivered
<3860> (5656)

him
<846>

to the tormentors
<930>_,

till
<2193> <3757>

he should pay
<591> (5632)

all
<3956>

that was due
<3784> (5746)

unto him
<846>_.

18:35

So
<3779>

likewise shall my
<3450>

heavenly
<2032>

Father
<3962>

do
<4160> (5692)

also
<2532>

unto you
<5213>_,

if
<3362> (0)

ye from
<575>

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>

forgive
<863> (5632)

not
<3362>

every one
<1538>

his
<846>

brother
<80>

their
<846>

trespasses
<3900>_.

James 2:13

2:13

For
<1063>

he shall have judgment
<2920>

without mercy
<448>_,

that hath shewed
<4160> (5660)

no
<3361>

mercy
<1656>_;

and
<2532>

mercy
<1656>

rejoiceth against
<2620> (5736)

judgment
<2920>_.

{rejoiceth: or, glorieth}
