The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: NEH 5:4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the
king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
NEH 5:5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children
as their 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.
NEH 5:6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
NEH 5:7 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.
