Parallel
Nehemiah 5:15
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Duces autem primi, qui fuerant ante me, gravaverunt populum, et acceperunt ab eis in pane, et vino, et pecunia, quotidie siclos quadraginta : sed et ministri eorum depresserunt populum. Ego autem non feci ita propter timorem Dei :
The governors before me had heavily burdened the people, taking from them bread and wine plus forty shekels of silver (note: 40 shekels is approximately 1 pound or 453.6 grams of silver.). Their servants also oppressed the people. But I did not do this, because of my fear of God.
