The people and their wives cry out against their brothers the Jews
백성이 그 아내와 함께 그 형제 유다 사람을 원망하여 크게 부르짖음
Nehemiah 5:1–5: there arises a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews. Some say, “We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live.” Some also say, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine.” Some also say, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold, we bring our sons and our daughters into bondage to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. It is also not in our power to help it, because other men have our fields and our vineyards.” The Korean Revised Version names no king at 5:4 (세금을 바쳤도다, we have paid the tax), and reads 자녀 (children) at 5:2 and in 이제 우리 자녀를 종으로 파는도다 (now we sell our children as servants) at 5:5, where WEB reads “our sons and our daughters”.
