Nehemiah Intervenes on behalf of the Oppressed

NETBible

And now, though we share the same flesh and blood as our fellow countrymen,¹ and our children are just like their children,² still we have found it necessary to subject our sons and daughters to slavery.³ Some of our daughters have been subjected to slavery, while we are powerless to help,⁴ since our fields and vineyards now belong to other people.”⁵
