4 And some said, We have borrowed money for the king's tributes: - our fields, and our vineyards, and houses are pledged . 5 And now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children: yet, behold, we are reducing our sons and our daughters to slavery, and some of our daughters are enslaved: and there is no power of our hands, for our fields and our vineyards belong to the nobles.
