Nehemiah 5:18-19

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Our daily requirements were one ox and six choice sheep, along with various kinds of poultry prepared for me. Every ten days there was a delivery of an abundant supply of wine. Despite all this, I refused the governor’s allotment,^[a] because demands on the people were heavy.

¹⁹ “Remember me with favor, my God, for everything I’ve done for this people.”
