- 16Yes, I also continued in the work of this wall. We didn’t buy any land. All my servants were gathered there to the work.

- 18Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine. Yet for all this, I didn’t demand the governor’s pay, because the bondage was heavy on this people.
- 19Remember me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
