12 Then they said, “We will restore these and (A)require nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests and (B)made them swear (C)to do as they had promised. 13 (D)I also shook out the fold[a] of my garment and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied.” (E)And all the assembly said “Amen” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.

Nehemiah 5:12-13
New International Version
12 “We will give it back,” they said. “And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say.”
Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath(A) to do what they had promised. 13 I also shook(B) out the folds of my robe and said, “In this way may God shake out of their house and possessions anyone who does not keep this promise. So may such a person be shaken out and emptied!”
At this the whole assembly said, “Amen,”(C) and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.

13 Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise.
