¶ Entonces fue grande el clamor del pueblo y de sus mujeres contra los judíos sus hermanos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 1. And there was a great cry of the people, and of their wives
, etc.] Those of the poorer sort: against their brethren the Jews ; the rich that oppressed them; and this cry or complaint was made to Nehemiah for redress.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Men prey upon their fellow-creatures: by despising the poor the reproach their Maker. Such conduct is a disgrace to any, but who can sufficiently abhor it when adopted by professing Christians? With compassion for the oppressed, we should lament the hardships which man in the world are groaning under; putting our souls into their souls stead, and remembering in our prayers and succours those who ar burdened. But let those who show no mercy, expect judgment withou mercy.
