Nehemiah 5:6-13

6 I was very angry when I heard ^dtheir outcry and these words. 7 I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, ^e“You are exacting interest, each from his brother.” And I held a great assembly against them 8 and said to them, “We, as far as we are able, ^fhave bought back our Jewish brothers who have been sold to the nations, but you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us!” They were silent and could not find a word to say. 9 So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk ^gin the fear of our God ^hto prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies? 10 Moreover, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this exacting of interest. 11 Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the percentage of money, grain, wine, and oil that you have been exacting from them.” 12 Then they said, “We will restore these and ⁱrequire nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests and ^jmade them swear ^kto do as they had promised. 13 ^lI also shook out the fold ^{▼▼Hebrew bosom} of my garment and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied.” ⁿAnd all the assembly said “Amen” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.

Nehemiah 13:25

25 ^oAnd I confronted them and cursed them and beat some of them and pulled out their hair. ^pAnd I made them take an oath in the name of God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

Job 42:6

6 therefore I despise myself,
and repent ^{▼▼Or and am comforted} in ^rdust and ashes.”

Jeremiah 31:18-20

18 I have heard ^sEphraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
^tbring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19 For after ^uI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, ^vI struck my thigh;
^wI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 ^xIs Ephraim my dear son?
^yIs he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
^zTherefore my heart ^{▼▼Hebrew bowels} yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,

declares the Lord.

Daniel 6:14

14 Then ^abthe king, when he heard these words, ^acwas much distressed and set his mind to deliver Daniel. And he labored till the sun went down to rescue him.
