THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Second Book of Esdras (Author Nehemias or Esdras or both)

5:5And now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren: and our children as their children. Behold we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters, and some of our daughters are bondwomen already, neither have we wherewith to redeem them, and our fields and our vineyards other men possess.
