Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.	And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish [ought] thereof: for they [be] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.
