Nehemiah 5:5

Yet, now, our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children, they rightly felt that they had equal rights with their richer neighbors before the Lord; and, lo, we bring into bondage our Sons and our daughters to be servants, practically forced to sell them as slaves, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already, apparently said of their being used for immoral purposes, Exodus 21:7; neither is it in our power to redeem them, literally, "and not is toward God our hand"; for other men have our lands and vineyards, they were at the mercy of their creditors.
