A Great Cry — Nehemiah 5:1–5

    Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
For there were that said,
We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live.

    Some also there were that said,
We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get grain, because of the dearth.
There were also that said,
We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.
NEH 5:3–4

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already: neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.
