John Gill Commentary Nehemiah 5:10

"And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, do lend them money and grain. I pray you, let us leave off this usury." — Nehemiah 5:10 (ASV)

I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of
them money and corn
For our maintenance, in consideration of the services done by us, which would appear but reasonable, but this we decline for the sake of easing our poor brethren:

I pray you let us leave off this usury ;
and not exact it, as has been too much and too long used.
