Nehemiah 5:17

---

← Nehemiah 5:16	Nehemiah 5:17 (KJV)	Nehemiah 5:18 →
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.	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.	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.
