Exodus 5:13-16
13The ataskmasters were urgent, saying, “Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.” 14And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s btaskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”15Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, “Why do you treat your servants like this? 16No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!’ And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
Exodus 5:18
18Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.”Isaiah 58:3
3 c‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not?Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, ▼
▼Or pursue your own business
eand oppress all your workers.
