Exodus 5:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ But he said, “You are too idle! Therefore, you say, ‘Let us go to offer sacrifice to the LORD.’

¹⁸ “Go now, therefore, and work! For there shall be no straw given to you! Yet you shall still deliver the whole quota of bricks!”

¹⁹ Then, the officers of the children of Israel saw the evil upon them, because it was said, “You shall diminish nothing of your bricks, nor of every day’s task.”
