Nehemiah 5:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ And there were at my table 150 Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations about us.

¹⁸ Now these were prepared for each day: one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine. Yet for all this, I did not demand [my rights] the food allowed me as governor, for the [tribute] bondage was heavy upon this people.

¹⁹ O my God, [earnestly] remember me for good for all I have done for this people.^(A)
