Nehemiah 5:4-8

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].
