7 And my heart reigned over me, and I rebuked the nobles and the prefects and said to them, “You? are exacting usury on one another.” And I called a great assembly against them, 8 and I said to them, “We have redeemed our brothers the Jews, who were sold to the nations, according to our ability. And you? indeed are selling your? brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” And they were silenced, and they found not a word. 9 And I said, “The thing that you? are doing is not good. Is it not in the fear of our God that you? should walk, because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? Nehemiah 5:7-9, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
