UNehemiya 5:14-16

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusukela esikhathini engamiswa ngaso ukuba ngibe ngumbusi wabo ezweni lakwaJuda, kusukela ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamashumi amathathu nambili ka-Aritahishashita inkosi, iminyaka eyishumi nambili, mina nabafowethu asizange sisidle isinkwa sombusi. Kodwa ababusi bangaphambili ababengaphambi kwami bahlambalaza abantu, bathatha kubo isinkwa newayini, ngaphandle kwamashekeli angamashumi amane esiliva; yebo, ngisho nezinceku zabo zibusa phezu kwabantu; kepha angikwenzanga lokho ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu. Yebo, ngaqhubeka nomsebenzi walolu donga, futhi asithenganga mhlaba, futhi zonke izinceku zami zabuthana lapho emsebenzini.
