7 And my heart will take counsel to me, and I shall contend with the nobles and the prefects, and say to them, Ye impose a debt each upon his brother. And I shall give a great convocation against them. 8 And saying to them, We bought off our brethren the Jews, being sold to the nations; according to the sufficiency in us and also will ye sell your brethren? and were they sold to us? And they will be silent, and they found not a word. 9 And it will be said, Not good the word which ye do: will ye not go in the fear of our God from the reproach of the nations our enemies? 10 And also I, my brethren and my young men exacting upon them silver and grain: we will leave off now this debt.
