Nehemiah 5

Nehemiah addresses the outcry of the poor Jews oppressed by wealthy brethren through exorbitant interest and debt slavery; he confronts the nobles and officials, commanding them to cease usury, restore properties and interest, and fear YHWH.[2][1] The people pledge obedience, and Nehemiah exemplifies generosity by not taking the governor's due, relying on YHWH's provision.
