  • Dan 2:9-9 : 9 But if you don't make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation. 10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man on the earth who can show the king's matter, because no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean. 11 It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. 12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 13 So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

    4The king of Egypt said to them, "Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!"

    5Pharaoh said, "Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens."

    6The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

    7"You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.

    8The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

    9Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don't let them pay any attention to lying words."

    10The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, "This is what Pharaoh says: 'I will not give you straw.

    11Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.'"

    12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

    13The taskmasters were urgent saying, "Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!"

    14The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?"

    15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?

    16No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, 'Make brick!' and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people."

    17But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.'
