Nehemiah 5:6
"And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And I was very angry when I heard their cry, and these words. Their complaint expressed in this manner; it not only raised pity and compassion in his breast towards

these poor distressed people, but indignation at the rich that oppressed them.
