7 You shall no more give the people straw to make bricks, as heretofore; let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But the number of bricks which they did make heretofore, you shall lay upon them; you shall not reduce the number thereof; for they are idle; that is why they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 9 Let more work be assigned to the men, that they may be occupied, so that they may not think to engage in vain conversations.
