ગુજરાતીનહેમ્યા ૫:૯
વળી મેં કહ્યું કે, “તમે જે કરી રહ્યા છો તે સારું નથી. આપણા વિદેશી શત્રુઓ નિંદા કરે એવી બીક રાખીને શું તમારે આપણા ઈશ્વરનો ભય રાખીને વર્તવું ન જોઈએ?
हिन्दीनहेम्याह ५:९
फिर मैं कहता गया, “जो काम तुम करते हो वह अच्छा नहीं है; क्या तुम को इस कारण हमारे परमेश्वर का भय मानकर चलना न चाहिये कि हमारे शत्रु जो अन्यजाति हैं, वे हमारी नामधराई न करें?

In context

7Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, “You exact usury, everyone of his brother.” I held a great assembly against them.

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.”
