Nehemiah 5:7-9

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}

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].

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)_?
