Nehemiah 5:7-10

⁷and after serious thought I rebuked the nobles and officials, saying, “You are exacting usury from your own brothers!” So I called a large assembly against them

⁸and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” But they remained silent, for they could find nothing to say.

⁹So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’ t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our foreign enemies?

¹⁰I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending the people money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury.
