Exodus 5:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?

¹⁶ Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before: behold we thy servants are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.

¹⁷ And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
