7Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8And thou shalt impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: thou shalt not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.
8And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.
9Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
10And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.
10And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

15And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants?
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16Straw is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; andbeholdthy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy people.
