Nehemiah 5:9-12

Nehemiah 5:9-12 CSB

Then I said, “What you are doing isn’t right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God  and not invite the reproach of our foreign enemies?  Even I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending them money and grain. Please, let’s stop charging this interest.  Return their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses to them immediately, along with the percentage  of the money, grain, new wine, and fresh oil  that you have been assessing them.” They responded, “We will return these things and require nothing more from them.  We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and made everyone take an oath  to do this.
