Nehemiah 5:18-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Every day, my servants cooked one ox, six good sheep and some birds for us to eat. Every ten days they bought for me many different kinds of wine. But I did not ask to receive the extra food that the ruler usually receives. The people were working hard on the wall and I did not want to give them more trouble.

¹⁹ My God, please remember the many things that I have done to help my people. Please bless me.
