Nehemiah 5:10-12
GOD’S WORD Translation
10 My brothers, my servants, and I are lending money and grain to the poor. But we must stop charging them interest. 11 You must return their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their homes today. Also, you must return the interest on the money, grain, new wine, and olive oil you’ve been charging them.”
12 They responded, “We’ll return it and not try to get it from them ⌞again⌟. We’ll do what you say.” Then I called the priests and made them swear to do what they promised.

Nehemiah 5:10-12
New International Version
10 I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest!(A) 11 Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest(B) you are charging them—one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil.”
12 “We will give it back,” they said. “And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say.”
Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath(C) to do what they had promised.
