Nehemiah 5:5

The Message Bible (MSG)

Look: We're the same flesh and blood as our brothers here; our children are just as good as theirs. Yet here we are having to sell our children off as slaves--some of our daughters have already been sold--and we can't do anything about it because our fields and vineyards are owned by somebody else."
— Nehemiah 5:5 (MSG)
