NASB
"I also applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work."
— Nehemiah 5:16, NASB
“Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.”
“Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work. ”
“Yes, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work.”
“I gave myself to the work on this wall, without even purchasing a field. All my associates were gathered there for the work.”
“Moreover I built in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered together to the work.”
“And I kept on with the work of this wall, and we got no land for ourselves: and all my servants were helping with the work.”
“Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.”
I also shook out the front of my garment and said, "Thus may God shake out every man from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" And they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.
Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor's food allowance.
But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.
I also applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.
Moreover, there were at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us.
Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.
Remember me, O my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
