Ought you not to walk ^bin the fear of our God ^cto 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 ^drequire nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests and ^emade them swear ^fto do as they had promised.
