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


In Context

6 Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:

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.

10 And the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao, I allow you no straw:

11 Go, and gather it where you can find it: neither shall any thing of your work be diminished.
