Nehemiah 5:15
Compare all
13 Then aI shook out the fold of my garment and said, “So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord. bThen the people did according to this promise.  

The Generosity of Nehemiah

14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year auntil the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers bate the governor’s provisions.  
15 But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people, but aI did not do so, because of the bfear of God.  
16 Indeed, I also continued the awork on this wall, and we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work.  
17 And aat my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us.
