Nehemiah 5:10 (KJVP) King James Version with Strong Number

1 And there was H1961 a great H1419 cry H6818 of the people H5971 and of their wives H802 against H413 their brethren H251 the Jews. H3064
2 For there were H3426 that H834 said, H559 We, H587 our sons, H1121 and our daughters, H1323 are many: H7227 therefore we take up H3947 corn H1715 for them , that we may eat, H398 and live. H2421
3 Some also there were H3426 that H834 said, H559 We H587 have mortgaged H6148 our lands, H7704 vineyards, H3754 and houses, H1004 that we might buy H3947 corn, H1715 because of the dearth. H7458
4 There were H3426 also that H834 said, H559 We have borrowed H3867 money H3701 for the king's H4428 tribute, H4060 and that upon our lands H7704 and vineyards. H3754
5 Yet now H6258 our flesh H1320 is as the flesh H1320 of our brethren, H251 our children H1121 as their children: H1121 and, lo, H2009 we H587 bring into bondage H3533 H853 our sons H1121 and our daughters H1323 to be servants, H5650 and some of our daughters H4480 H1323 are H3426 brought unto bondage H3533 already : neither H369 is it in our power H410 H3027 to redeem them ; for other H312 men have our lands H7704 and vineyards. H3754
6 And I was very H3966 angry H2734 when H834 I heard H8085 H853 their cry H2201 and these H428 words. H1697
7 Then I consulted H4427 with H5921 myself, H3820 and I rebuked H7378 H853 the nobles, H2715 and the rulers, H5461 and said H559 unto them, Ye H859 exact H5378 usury, H4855 every one H376 of his brother. H251 And I set H5414 a great H1419 assembly H6952 against H5921 them.
8 And I said H559 unto them, We H587 after our ability H1767 have redeemed H7069 H853 our brethren H251 the Jews, H3064 which were sold H4376 unto the heathen; H1471 and will ye H859 even H1571 sell H4376 H853 your brethren H251 ? or shall they be sold H4376 unto us? Then held they their peace, H2790 and found H4672 nothing H3808 H1697 to answer .
9 Also I said, H559 It is not H3808 good H2896 H1697 that H834 ye H859 do: H6213 ought ye not H3808 to walk H1980 in the fear H3374 of our God H430 because of the reproach H4480 H2781 of the heathen H1471 our enemies H341 ?
10 I H589 likewise, H1571 and my brethren, H251 and my servants, H5288 might exact H5383 of them money H3701 and corn: H1715 I pray H4994 you , let us leave off H5800 H853 this H2088 usury. H4855
11 Restore H7725 , I pray H4994 you , to them , even this day, H3117 their lands, H7704 their vineyards, H3754 their oliveyards, H2132 and their houses, H1004 also the hundredth H3967 part of the money, H3701 and of the corn, H1715 the wine, H8492 and the oil, H3323 that H834 ye H859 exact H5383 of them.
12 Then said H559 they , We will restore H7725 them , and will require H1245 nothing H3808 of H4480 them; so H3651 will we do H6213 as H834 thou H859 sayest. H559 Then I called H7121 H853 the priests, H3548 and took an oath H7650 of them , that they should do H6213 according to this H2088 promise. H1697
13 Also H1571 I shook H5287 my lap, H2684 and said, H559 So H3602 God H430 shake out H5287 H853 every H3605 man H376 from his house H4480 H1004 , and from his labor H4480 H3018 , that H834 performeth H6965 not H3808 H853 this H2088 promise, H1697 even thus H3602 be H1961 he shaken out, H5287 and emptied. H7386 And all H3605 the congregation H6951 said, H559 Amen, H543 and praised H1984 H853 the LORD. H3068 And the people H5971 did H6213 according to this H2088 promise. H1697
14 Moreover H1571 from the time H4480 H3117 that H834 I was appointed H6680 to be H1961 their governor H6346 in the land H776 of Judah, H3063 from the twentieth H6242 year H4480 H8141 even unto H5704 the two H8147 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of Artaxerxes H783 the king, H4428 that is , twelve H8147 H6240 years, H8141 I H589 and my brethren H251 have not H3808 eaten H398 the bread H3899 of the governor. H6346
15 But the former H7223 governors H6346 that H834 had been before H6440 me were chargeable H3513 unto H5921 the people, H5971 and had taken H3947 of H4480 them bread H3899 and wine, H3196 beside H310 forty H705 shekels H8255 of silver; H3701 yea, H1571 even their servants H5288 bore rule H7980 over H5921 the people: H5971 but so H3651 did H6213 not H3808 I, H589 because H4480 H6440 of the fear H3374 of God. H430
16 Yea, also H1571 I continued H2388 in the work H4399 of this H2063 wall, H2346 neither H3808 bought H7069 we any land: H7704 and all H3605 my servants H5288 were gathered H6908 thither H8033 unto H5921 the work. H4399
17 Moreover there were at H5921 my table H7979 a hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 H376 of the Jews H3064 and rulers, H5461 beside those that came H935 unto H413 us from among H4480 the heathen H1471 that H834 are about H5439 us.
18 Now that which H834 was H1961 prepared H6213 for me daily H3117 H259 was one H259 ox H7794 and six H8337 choice H1305 sheep; H6629 also fowls H6833 were prepared H6213 for me , and once H996 in ten H6235 days H3117 store H7235 of all H3605 sorts of wine: H3196 yet for all H5973 this H2088 required H1245 not H3808 I the bread H3899 of the governor, H6346 because H3588 the bondage H5656 was heavy H3513 upon H5921 this H2088 people. H5971
19 Think H2142 upon me , my God, H430 for good, H2896 according to all H3605 that H834 I have done H6213 for H5921 this H2088 people. H5971
1 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
2 For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
3 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
7 Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
8 And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
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.
14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
15 But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
16 Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
17 Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.
18 Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
19 Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
