Exodus 5:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Make them work harder. Then they will be too busy to pay attention to lies.”

¹⁰ The slave drivers and the overseers left. They said to the people, “Pharaoh says, ‘I won’t give you any more straw. ¹¹ Go and get your own straw anywhere you can find it. But you still have to make the same number of bricks.’ ”
