Nehemiah 5:5


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless to redeem them because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”


World English Bible (WEB)

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. Neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.”


Strong's King James

Yet now our flesh{H1320} is as the flesh{H1320} of our brethren{H251}, our children{H1121} as their children{H1121}: and, lo, we bring into bondage{H3533}{(H8802)} our sons{H1121} and our daughters{H1323} to be servants{H5650}, and some of our daughters{H1323} are{H3426} brought unto bondage{H3533}{(H8737)} already: neither is it in our power{H410}{H3027} to redeem them; for other men{H312} have our lands{H7704} and vineyards{H3754}.


The F.O.G *

Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. But look! We are subjugating our sons and our daughters to be slaves. Some of our daughters are being subjugated already. And there isn't the power in our hands, as our fields and vineyards belong to others.


The F.O.G Message *


Young's Literal Translation

and now, as the flesh of our brethren is our flesh, as their sons are our sons, and lo, we are subduing our sons and our daughters for servants, and there are of our daughters subdued, and our hand hath no might, and our fields and our vineyards are to others.’

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
