Nehemiah 5:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Moreover I and my brethren and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us leave off this interest. ¹¹ Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the hundredth of money, grain, wine, and oil which you have been exacting of them.” ¹² Then they said, “We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests, and took an oath of them to do as they had promised.
