17But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let vs goe and doe sacrifice to the Lord. 18Goe therefore now and worke: for there shall no straw bee giuen you, yet shall ye deliuer the tale of brickes. 19And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in euill case, after it was said, Yee shall not minish ought from your brickes of your dayly taske. 20¶ And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came foorth from Pharaoh. 21And they said vnto them; The Lord looke vpon you, and iudge, because you haue made our sauour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his seruants, to put a sword in their hand to slay vs.
