Nehemiah 5:18-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Each day one ox, six of the best sheep and some birds were prepared for me. Every ten days plenty of wine of all kinds was brought in as well. In spite of all that, I never asked for the food that was provided for my table. That’s because the people were already paying too many taxes.

¹⁹ You are my God. Please remember me and help me. Keep in mind everything I’ve done for these people.
