Nehemiah 5:12 in Context — Nehemiah 5
10 Moi aussi, et mes frères et mes serviteurs, nous leur avons prêté de l’argent et du blé. Abandonnons ce qu’ils nous doivent!
11 Rendez-leur donc aujourd’hui leurs champs, leurs vignes, leurs oliviers et leurs maisons, et le centième de l’argent, du blé, du moût et de l’huile que vous avez exigé d’eux comme intérêt.
12 Ils répondirent: Nous les rendrons, et nous ne leur demanderons rien, nous ferons ce que tu dis. Alors j’appelai les sacrificateurs, devant lesquels je les fis jurer de tenir parole.
13 Et je secouai mon manteau, en disant: Que Dieu secoue de la même manière hors de sa maison et de ses biens tout homme qui n’aura point tenu parole, et qu’ainsi cet homme soit secoué et laissé à vide! Toute l’assemblée dit: Amen! On célébra l’Éternel. Et le peuple tint parole.
14 Dès le jour où le roi m’établit leur gouverneur dans le pays de Juda, depuis la vingtième année jusqu’à la trente-deuxième année du roi Artaxerxès, pendant douze ans, ni moi ni mes frères n’avons vécu des revenus du gouverneur.
