Exodus 5:7-9

Darby Translation

⁷ Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

⁸ And the number of the bricks they have made heretofore shall ye lay upon them: ye shall not diminish any of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

⁹ Let them put heavier labour on the men, that they may be taken up with it, and not regard vain words.
