15. પણ મારા પહેલાં જે આગેવાનો હતા, તેઓના ખર્ચનો ભાર એ લોકો પર પડતો, તેઓ તેઓની પાસેથી અન્ન, દ્રાક્ષારસ તથા તે ઉપરાંત દરરોજ ચાળીસ શેકેલ ચાંદી લેતા હતા. તે ઉપરાંત તેઓના ચાકરો લોકો પર ત્રાસ ગુજારતા હતા. પણ મેં ઈશ્વરથી ડરીને તેઓની સાથે એવો વર્તાવ કર્યો નહોતો.

15. પણ મારા પહેલાં જે સૂબાઓ હતા, તેઓના ખરચનો બોજો એ લોકો પર પડતો, તેઓ એમની પાસેથી અન્ન, દ્રાક્ષારસ, તથા તે ઉપરાંત દરરોજ ચાળીસ શેકલ રૂપું લેતા હતા. હા, તેઓના ચાકરો પણ લોકો પર સાહેબી કરતા હતા. પણ ઈશ્વરના ભયને લીધે મેં તો એમ કર્યું નથી.
