6 And Pharaoh will command in that day those urging on over the people, and their scribes, saying, 7 Ye shall not gather straw to give to the people to make bricks as yesterday, and the third day: they shall go and gather straw for themselves. 8 And the measure of bricks which they made yesterday and the third day, ye shall put upon them; ye shall not take away from it, for they are slack; for this they cried, saying, We will go to sacrifice to our God. 9 The work shall be heavy upon the men, and they shall work in it, and they shall not look upon empty words. 10 And the urgers on of the people will go forth, and the scribes, and they will speak to the people, saying, Thus said Pharaoh, I gave you not straw. 11 Go ye, take straw for yourselves, from where ye shall find it; for not a word shall be taken away from your works. 12 And the people will be dispersed in all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 13 And the urgers on will hasten them, saying, Complete your work; the word of a day, in its day, as in there being straw. 14 And the scribes of the sons of Israel will be beaten, which Pharaoh's urgers on set over them, saying, Wherefore did ye not complete your allowance of brick as yesterday and the third day, also yesterday, also this day?
