ગુજરાતીનહેમ્યા ૫:૧૦
હું, મારા ભાઈઓ તથા મારા સેવકો, તેઓને પૈસા અને અનાજ ઉધાર આપતા આવ્યા છીએ. પણ હવે કૃપા કરીને આપણે વ્યાજ લેવાનું છોડી દેવું જોઈએ.
हिन्दीनहेम्याह ५:१०
मैं भी और मेरे भाई और सेवक उनको रुपया और अनाज उधार देते हैं, परन्तु हम इसका ब्याज छोड़ दें।

In context

8I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say.

9Also I said, “The thing that you do is not good. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

10I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury.

11Please restore to them, even today, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them.”

12Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. We will do so, even as you say.” Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
