Nehemiah 5:5

JUB

NIV

5 Yet now, <em>given</em> that the flesh of our brethren <em>is</em> as our flesh <em>and</em> their sons as our sons, behold, we subject our sons and our daughters to slavery, and there are <em>some</em> of our daughters in bondage <em>already</em>; neither <em>is it</em> in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
5 Although we are of the same flesh and blood as our fellow Jews and though our children are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others.”
