Leviticus 25:17
17 aYou shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God.Nehemiah 5:9
9So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk bin the fear of our God cto prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?Nehemiah 5:15
15The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens on the people and took from them for their daily ration ▼▼Compare Vulgate; Hebrew took from them with food and wine afterward
forty shekels ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, fbecause of the fear of God.
