But the former
<07223>

governors
<06346>

that [had been] before
<06440>

me were chargeable
<03513> (8689)

unto the people
<05971>_,

and had taken
<03947> (8799)

of them bread
<03899>

and wine
<03196>_,

beside
<0310>

forty
<0705>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_;

yea, even
<01571>

their servants
<05288>

bare rule
<07980> (8804)

over the people
<05971>_:

but so did
<06213> (8804)

not I, because
<06440>

of the fear
<03374>

of God
<0430>_.

the water
<04325>

gate
<08179>

from the morning
<0216>

until midday
<04276> <03117>_,

before the men
<0582>

and the women
<0802>_,

and those that could understand
<0995> (8688)_;

and the ears
<0241>

of all the people
<05971>

[were attentive] unto the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>_.
