9Make the work harder for the men so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies."


In Context

6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and foremen in charge of the people:

7 "You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.

8 But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

9 Make the work harder for the men so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies."

10 Then the slave drivers and the foremen went out and said to the people, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you any more straw.

11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.' "
