In context
10 Then went forth the taskmasters of the people and their overseers, and spake unto the people,—saying,—Thus, saith Pharaoh, I am not going to give you straw,
11 Ye yourselves go fetch you straw, of any ye can find,—yet hath there not been diminished from your service a single thing.
12 So the people dispersed themselves throughout all the land of Egypt,—to gather stubble for straw:
13 the taskmasters, meanwhile, being urgent saying,—Complete your works, The task of a day, in its day, as when the straw was provided.
14 Then were beaten the overseers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them saying: Wherefore have ye not completed your task for making bricks, as heretofore, so also, yesterday and, to-day?
15 Then came in the overseers of the sons of Israel, and made outcry unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore shouldst thou do thus to thy servants?
16 No straw, is given to thy servants, yet bricks,—they keep saying to us—make ye! And lo, thy servants, are beaten—thou dost, therefore, wrong thy people.
