Sia questa gente caricata di lavoro; e si occupi di quello senza badare a parole di menzogna".
Sovraccaricate questi uomini di duro lavoro, ed essi lo facciano senza dar retta a parole dinganno".
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Let there more work be laid upon the men: Heb. Let the work be heavy upon the men
vain words: 2 Kings 18:20, Job 16:3, Jeremiah 43:2, Zechariah 1:6, Malachi 3:14, Ephesians 5:6
Reciprocal: Exodus 2:11 - burdens Deuteronomy 26:6 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let there more work be laid upon the men,.... Instead of lessening it, let it be increased, or "be heavy" k upon them, that it may oppress and afflict them and keep them down, and weaken their strength and their spirits, and diminish them:
that they may labour therein; and have no leisure time to spend in idleness and sloth:
and let them not regard vain words; or "words of falsehood" l and lies, such as were spoken by Moses and Aaron, promising them liberty and deliverance from their bondage, which he was determined never to grant, and so eventually make such words to appear to be vain and empty, falsehood and lies.
