And there was a greatH1419 cryH6818 of the peopleH5971 and of their wivesH802 against their brethrenH251 the JewsH3064.
For there wereH3426 that saidH559, We, our sonsH1121, and our daughtersH1323, are manyH7227: therefore we take upH3947 cornH1715 for them, that we may eatH398, and liveH2421.
Some also there wereH3426 that saidH559, We have mortgagedH6148 our landsH7704, vineyardsH3754, and housesH1004, that we might buyH3947 cornH1715, because of the dearthH7458.
There wereH3426 also that saidH559, We have borrowedH3867 moneyH3701 for the king'sH4428 tributeH4060, and that upon our landsH7704 and vineyardsH3754.
Yet now our fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of our brethrenH251, our childrenH1121 as their childrenH1121: and, lo, we bring into bondageH3533 our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 to be servantsH5650, and some of our daughtersH1323 areH3426 brought unto bondageH3533 already: neither is it in our powerH410+H3027 to redeem them; for other menH312 have our landsH7704 and vineyardsH3754.
And I was veryH3966 angryH2734 when I heardH8085 their cryH2201 and these wordsH1697.
Then I consultedH4427 with myselfH3820, and I rebukedH7378 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exactH5378+H5383+H5375 usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them. {I consulted…: Heb. my heart consulted in me}
And I saidH559 unto them, We after our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, which were soldH4376 unto the heathenH1471; and will ye even sellH4376 your brethrenH251? or shall they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peaceH2790, and foundH4672 nothingH1697 to answer.
Also I saidH559, It is not goodH2896 thatH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341?
I likewise, and my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and cornH1715: I pray you, let us leave offH5800 this usuryH4855.
RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their landsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyardsH2132, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 part of the moneyH3701, and of the cornH1715, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exactH5383 of them.
Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; so will we doH6213 as thou sayestH559. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they should doH6213 according to this promiseH1697.
Also I shookH5287 my lapH2684, and saidH559, So GodH430 shake outH5287 every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labourH3018, that performethH6965 not this promiseH1697, even thus be he shaken outH5287, and emptiedH7386. And all the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 according to this promiseH1697. {emptied: Heb. empty, or, void}
Moreover from the timeH3117 that I was appointedH6680 to be their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 even unto the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141, I and my brethrenH251 have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346.
But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that had been beforeH6440 me were chargeableH3513 unto the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besideH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bare ruleH7980 over the peopleH5971: but so didH6213 not I, becauseH6440 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
Yea, also I continuedH2388 in the workH4399 of this wallH2346, neither boughtH7069 we any landH7704: and all my servantsH5288 were gatheredH6908 thither unto the workH4399.
Moreover there were at my tableH7979 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572+H376 of the JewsH3064 and rulersH5461, beside those that cameH935 unto us from among the heathenH1471 that are about usH5439.
Now that which was preparedH6213 for me dailyH3117 was oneH259 oxH7794 and sixH8337 choiceH1305 sheepH6629; also fowlsH6833 were preparedH6213 for me, and once in tenH6235 daysH3117 storeH7235 of all sorts of wineH3196: yet for allH5973 this requiredH1245 not I the breadH3899 of the governorH6346, because the bondageH5656 was heavyH3513 upon this peopleH5971.
ThinkH2142 upon me, my GodH430, for goodH2896, according to all that I have doneH6213 for this peopleH5971.

And it grievedH3415 me soreH3966: therefore I cast forthH7993 all the householdH1004 stuffH3627 of TobiahH2900 out ofH2351 the chamberH3957.
And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
And all these thy servantsH5650 shall come downH3381 unto me, and bow downH7812 themselves unto me, sayingH559, Get thee outH3318, and all the peopleH5971 that followH7272 thee: and afterH310 that I will go outH3318. And he went outH3318 from PharaohH6547 in a greatH2750 angerH639. {that follow…: Heb. that is at thy feet} {a great…: Heb. heat of anger}
And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 assH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.
