NASB
"There were others who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our houses that we might get grain because of the famine.""
— Nehemiah 5:3, NASB
“Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.”
“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. ”
“Some also there were that said, "We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine."”
“There were others who said,“We are putting up our fields, our vineyards, and our houses as collateral in order to obtain grain during the famine.””
“And there were some that said: Let us mortgage our lands, and our vineyards, and our houses, and let us take corn because of the famine.”
“And there were some who said, We are giving our fields and our vine-gardens and our houses for debt: let us get grain because we are in need.”
“Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.”
Now there was a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.
For there were those who said, "We, our sons and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live."
There were others who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our houses that we might get grain because of the famine."
Also there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards.
"Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."
Then I was very angry when I had heard their outcry and these words.
