নেহেমিয়া 5:5

আর এদিকে ঐসব ধনী লোকদের দেখো! আমরাও তো ওদেরই মতো মানুষ, আমাদের ছেলেমেয়েরাই বা ওদের থেকে কম কিসে? কিন্তু শেষ পর্য়ন্ত আমাদের ছেলেমেয়েদের দাসদাসী হিসেবে বিক্রি করে দিতে হবে! ইতিমধ্যেই অনেকে তা করতে শুরু করেছে, অথচ আমরা কিছুই করতে পারছি না| আমাদের ভূমি ও দ্রাক্ষাক্ষেত এখন অন্য লোকদের অধীনে!”
