Exodus 5:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Make these people work harder and keep them busy; then they will not have time to listen to the lies of Moses.”

¹⁰ So the slave masters and foremen went to the Israelites and said, “This is what the king says: I will no longer give you straw. ¹¹ Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it. But you must make as many bricks as you made before.”
