Let them go and collect straw for themselves. 8 But you must require of them the same quota of bricks that they were making before. Do not reduce it, for they are slackers.

Then all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the most prominent to the lowly.” 21 The matter seemed appropriate to the king and the officials.
