Exodus 5:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ There is no firewood given unto thy slaves, yet they say to us, Make brick. Behold, thy slaves are beaten; and thy people sin.

¹⁷ And he replied, Ye are idle, ye are idle, therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice unto the LORD.

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