Nehemiah 5:7

---

← Nehemiah 5:6	Nehemiah 5:7 (KJV)	Nehemiah 5:8 →
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.	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.	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].
