Nehemiah 5:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
For there were those who said, 'We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let’s get grain so that we may eat and live.'
3
And there were
others
who said, 'We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses so that we might get grain because of the famine.'
4
There also were those who said, 'We have borrowed money for the king’s tax
on
our fields and our vineyards.
5
And now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage
already,
and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others.'
6
Then I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.
King James Version
Chapter 5
2
For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
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 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.
6
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
Some were saying, "We, our sons, and our daughters are numerous. Let us get grain so that we can eat and live."
3
Others were saying, "We are mortgaging our fields, vineyards, and homes to get grain during the famine."
4
Still others were saying, "We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.
5
We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."
6
I became extremely angry when I heard their outcry and these complaints.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
2
They were saying, 'We have such large families. We need more food to survive.'
3
Others said, 'We have mortgaged our fields, vineyards, and homes to get food during the famine.'
4
And others said, 'We have had to borrow money on our fields and vineyards to pay our taxes.
5
We belong to the same family as those who are wealthy, and our children are just like theirs. Yet we must sell our children into slavery just to get enough money to live. We have already sold some of our daughters, and we are helpless to do anything about it, for our fields and vineyards are already mortgaged to others.'
6
When I heard their complaints, I was very angry.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
2
For there were those who said, "With our sons and our daughters, we are many. So let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive."
3
There were also those who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine."
4
And there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king 's tax on our fields and our vineyards.
5
Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children are as their children. Yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards."
6
I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.
New International Version
Chapter 5
2
Some were saying, "We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain."
3
Others were saying, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine."
4
Still others were saying, "We have had to borrow money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.
5
Although we are of the same flesh and blood as our fellow Jews and though our children are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others."
6
When I heard their outcry and these charges, I was very angry.

are
many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”

who said, “We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine.”
4
There were also those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax

some
of our daughters have been brought into slavery.
It is
not in our power
to redeem them,
for other men have our lands and vineyards.”

And I became very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.
