11. You go, get straw for yourselves from whatever you find because not a thing is being reduced from your work.’ ”
12. And the people spread out in all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for the straw.
13. And the slave drivers were insisting, saying, “Finish your work for each day on its day, as when there was straw.”
14. And the foremen of the Israelites, whom Pharaoh’s slave drivers had appointed over them, were beaten by men who were saying, “Why have you not completed your portion of brickmaking as before, both yesterday and today?”
15. And the foremen of the Israelites came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you treat your servants like this?
16. Straw is not being given to your servants, but they are saying to us, ‘Make bricks!’ and, look, your servants are being beaten, but it is the fault of your people.”
