Nehemiah 5:18-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; fowls likewise were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the servitude was heavy upon this people. ¹⁹ Remember for my good, O my God, all that I have done for this people.
