Nehemiah 5:7-9
New International Version
Nehemiah 5:7-9
New International Version
7 I pondered them in my mind and then accused the nobles and officials. I told them, “You are charging your own people interest!”(A) So I called together a large meeting to deal with them 8 and said: “As far as possible, we have bought(B) back our fellow Jews who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your own people, only for them to be sold back to us!” They kept quiet, because they could find nothing to say.(C)
9 So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach(D) of our Gentile enemies?

Nehemiah 5:7-9
King James Version
7 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.
8 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.
9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

Job 24:3-9
New International Version
3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(A)
4 They thrust the needy(B) from the path
and force all the poor(C) of the land into hiding.(D)
5 Like wild donkeys(E) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(F) of foraging food;
the wasteland(G) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(H) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(I) of the wicked.(J)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(K)
8 They are drenched(L) by mountain rains
and hug(M) the rocks for lack of shelter.(N)
9 The fatherless(O) child is snatched(P) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(Q) for a debt.(R)
Job 24:3-9
King James Version
Job 24:3-9
King James Version
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
