Nehemiah 5:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Moreover, there were at my table one hundred and fifty people, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations around us. ¹⁸ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because of the heavy burden of labour on the people. ¹⁹ Remember for my good, O my God, all that I have done for this people.
