Nehemiah 5:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ And there were those who were saying, “We have borrowed money on our fields and our vineyards for the tax of the king. ⁵ Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our sons are like their sons. Look, we are subduing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and there are some from our daughters being molested. We are powerless,^[a] and our fields and vineyards belong to others.”

⁶ I was very angry when I heard their shouts and these words.
