Exodus 5:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.

¹⁸ Go therefore, and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks.

¹⁹ And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day.
