Nehemiah 5:15-17
Good News Translation
15 Every governor who had been in office before me had been a burden to the people and had demanded forty silver coins a day[a] for food and wine. Even their servants had oppressed the people. But I acted differently, because I honored God. 16 I put all my energy into rebuilding the wall and did not acquire any property. Everyone who worked for me joined in the rebuilding. 17 I regularly fed at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jewish people and their leaders, besides all the people who came to me from the surrounding nations.
