Nehemiah 5:7 in Context — Nehemiah 5
5 Et pourtant notre chair est comme la chair de nos frères, nos enfants sont comme leurs enfants; et voici, nous soumettons à la servitude nos fils et nos filles, et plusieurs de nos filles y sont déjà réduites; nous sommes sans force, et nos champs et nos vignes sont à d’autres.
6 Je fus très irrité lorsque j’entendis leurs plaintes et ces paroles-là.
7 Je résolus de faire des réprimandes aux grands et aux magistrats, et je leur dis: Quoi! Vous prêtez à intérêt à vos frères! Et je rassemblai autour d’eux une grande foule,
8 et je leur dis: Nous avons racheté selon notre pouvoir nos frères les Juifs vendus aux nations; et vous vendriez vous-mêmes vos frères, et c’est à nous qu’ils seraient vendus! Ils se turent, ne trouvant rien à répondre.
9 Puis je dis: Ce que vous faites n’est pas bien. Ne devriez-vous pas marcher dans la crainte de notre Dieu, pour n’être pas insultés par les nations nos ennemies?
