Chapter 5
And
there
was
a
great
crie
of
the
people,
and
of
their
wiues,
against
their
brethren
the
Iewes.
2
For
there
were
that
said,
We,
our
sonnes,
and
our
daughters
are
many:
therefore
wee
take
vp
corne
for
them,
that
we
may
eat,
and
liue.
3
Some
also
there
were
that
saide,
We
haue
morgaged
our
landes,
vineyards
and
houses,
that
we
might
buy
corne,
because
of
the
dearth.
4
There
were
also
that
said,
Wee
haue
borrowed
money
for
the
kings
tribute,
and
that
vpon
our
lands
and
vineyards.
5
Yet
now
our
flesh
is
as
the
flesh
of
our
brethren,
our
children
as
their
children:
and
loe,
wee
bring
into
bondage
our
sonnes
and
our
daughters,
to
bee
seruants,
and
some
of
our
daughters
are
brought
vnto
bondage
already,
neither
is
it
in
our
power
to
redeeme
them:
for
other
men
haue
our
lands
and
vineyards.
6
And
I
was
very
angry,
when
I
heard
their
crie,
and
these
words.
7
Then
I
consulted
with
my
selfe,
and
I
rebuked
the
Nobles,
and
the
rulers,
and
said
vnto
them,
You
exact
vsurie,
euery
one
of
his
brother.
And
I
set
a
great
assembly
against
them:
8
And
I
said
vnto
them,
We,
after
our
abilitie,
haue
redeemed
our
brethren
the
Iewes,
which
were
sold
vnto
the
heathen;
and
will
you
euen
sell
your
brethren?
Or
shall
they
be
sold
vnto
vs?
Then
held
they
their
peace,
and
found
nothing
to
answere.
9
Also
I
said,
It
is
not
good
that
yee
doe:
ought
yee
not
to
walke
in
the
feare
of
our
God,
because
of
the
reproch
of
the
heathen
our
enemies?
10
I
likewise,
and
my
brethren,
and
my
seruants,
might
exact
of
them
money
and
corne:
I
pray
you
let
vs
leaue
off
this
vsurie.
11
Restore,
I
pray
you,
to
them,
euen
this
day,
their
lands,
their
vineyards,
their
oliue-yards,
and
their
houses,
also
the
hundreth
part
of
the
money,
and
of
the
corne,
the
wine,
and
the
oyle,
that
ye
exact
of
them.
12
Then
said
they,
Wee
will
restore
them,
and
will
require
nothing
of
them;
so
will
we
doe,
as
thou
sayest.
Then
I
called
the
Priests,
and
tooke
an
oath
of
them,
that
they
should
doe
according
to
this
promise.
13
Also
I
shooke
my
lap,
and
said,
So
God
shake
out
euery
man
from
his
house,
and
from
his
labour,
that
performeth
not
this
promise,
euen
thus
be
he
shaken
out,
and
emptied.
And
all
the
Congregation
said,
Amen,
and
praised
the
Lord.
And
the
people
did
according
to
this
promise.
14
Moreouer,
from
the
time
that
I
was
appointed
to
be
their
gouernor
in
the
land
of
Iudah,
from
the
twentieth
yeere
euen
vnto
the
two
and
thirtieth
yere
of
Artaxerxes
the
king,
that
is,
twelue
yeres,
I
and
my
brethren,
haue
not
eaten
the
bread
of
the
gouernour:
15
But
the
former
gouernours
that
had
bene
before
me,
were
chargeable
vnto
the
people,
and
had
taken
of
them
bread,
and
wine,
beside
fourtie
shekels
of
siluer,
yea
euen
their
seruants
bare
rule
ouer
the
people:
but
so
did
not
I,
because
of
the
feare
of
God.
16
Yea
also
I
continued
in
the
worke
of
this
wall,
neither
bought
wee
any
land:
and
all
my
seruants
were
gathered
thither
vnto
the
worke.
17
Moreouer,
there
were
at
my
table,
an
hundred
and
fiftie
of
the
Iewes
and
rulers,
besides
those
that
came
vnto
vs
from
among
the
heathen
that
are
about
vs.
18
Now
that
which
was
prepared
for
me
daily,
was
one
oxe,
and
sixe
choice
sheepe;
also
foules
were
prepared
for
mee,
and
once
in
ten
dayes,
store
of
all
sorts
of
wine:
yet
for
all
this
required
not
I
the
bread
of
the
gouernour,
because
the
bondage
was
heauy
vpon
this
people.
19
Thinke
vpon
mee,
my
God,
for
good,
according
to
all
that
I
haue
done
for
this
people.
