Nehemiah 5:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 And likewise I, my brothers, and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please, let’s [a]do without this interest. 11 Please, give back to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, as well as the hundredth part of the money and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil that you are charging as interest from them.” 12 Then they said, “We (A)will give it back and (B)will require nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say.” So I called the priests and made them (C)take an oath to act in accordance with this [b]promise.

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.”
