Nehemiah 5:3-5

Nehemiah 5:3-5

[3] Some also there were  that said,  We have mortgaged  our lands,  vineyards,  and houses,  that we might buy  corn,  because of the dearth.  [4] There were  also that said,  We have borrowed  money  for the king's  tribute,  and that upon our lands  and vineyards.  [5] Yet now our flesh  of our brethren,  our children  and, lo, we bring into bondage  our sons  and our daughters  to be servants,  and some of our daughters  are  brought unto bondage  already: neither is it in our power  to redeem them; for other men  have our lands  and vineyards.
