So God Shake Out Every Man — Nehemiah 5:12–13

  
    Then said they,
We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest.
Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
NEH 5:12

    Also I shook out my lap, and said,
So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied.
And all the assembly said,
Amen,
and praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise.
