Exodus 5:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ But he said, “Ye are idle, ye are idle! Therefore ye say, ‘Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord.’

¹⁸ Go therefore now and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tally of bricks.”

¹⁹ And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil straits after it was said, “Ye shall not diminish any from your bricks of your daily task.”
