Exodus 5:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them go and gather straw.

⁸ And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before, neither shall you diminish any thing thereof: for they are idle, and therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

⁹ Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words.
