Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 15:4

²And some said, We are numerous with our sons and our daughters; so we will take corn, and eat, and live.

³And some said, As to our fields and vineyards and houses, let us pledge them, and we will take corn, and eat.

— Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 15:4 —

⁵And now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children: yet, behold, we are reducing our sons and our daughters to slavery, and some of our daughters are enslaved: and there is no power of our hands, for our fields and our vineyards belong to the nobles.

⁶And I was much grieved as I heard their cry and these words.
