Nehemiah 5:9-12 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

9. And I said, The thing that ye do is not good. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God so as not to be the reproach of the nations our enemies?

10. I also, my brethren and my servants, we might exact usury of them, money and corn. I pray you, let us leave off this usury.

11. Restore, I pray you, to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive-gardens, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine and the oil, that ye have exacted of them.

12. And they said, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, as thou hast said. And I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
