Nehemiah 5:15-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ But the former governors who had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yea, even their servants ruled over the people, but so did I not, because of the fear of God.

¹⁶ Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land; and all my servants were gathered thither for the work.

¹⁷ Moreover there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, besides those who came unto us from among the heathen who are about us.
