8and the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making heretofore ye do put on them, ye do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
9let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.`
10And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak unto the people, saying, `Thus said Pharaoh, I do not give you straw,
11ye -- go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find [it], for there is nothing of your service diminished.`
12And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
13and the exactors are making haste, saying, `Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.`
14And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, `Wherefore have ye not completed your portion in making brick as heretofore, both yesterday and to-day?`
