(KJV.) EXODUS 5:8-14
(8) And the rate of the bricks which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them: ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
(9) Let there more work, be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
(10) And the taskmaster of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
(11) Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it yet not aught of your work shall be diminished.
(12) So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
(13) And the taskmaster hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
(14) And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmaster had set over them were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as heretofore?
(15) Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
ADDENDUM
Why did Pharaoh retaliate the commandment of God, by overburned the Israelites with hard labour?
