Nehemiah 5:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Moreover there were regularly at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations around us. ¹⁸ Daily there were one ox and six choice sheep prepared for me. Fowls were also prepared for me. Once in ten days all sorts of wine were supplied in abundance. Yet for all this, I never required the governor’s food allotment because it was a heavy burden on this people.

¹⁹ Remember me, O my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
