LXX Nehemiah 5:15
LXX:
But the rulers, the ones before me, oppressed upon the people, and took from them in bread [loaves] and in wine; [and] last money of forty shekels. And also their servants dominated over the people. But I did not do so because of [the] countenance of [the] fear of [the] lord.
Greek:
οι δε άρχοντες οι έμπροσθέν μου εβάρυναν επί τον λαόν και έλαβον παρ΄ αυτών εν άρτοις και εν οίνω έσχατον αργύριον σίκλους τεσσαράκοντα και γε τα παιδάρια αυτών εκυρίευσαν επί τον λαόν καγώ ουκ εποίησα ούτως από προσώπου φόβου κυρίου
