The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: your work shall be diminished.
EXO 5:12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of
Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
EXO 5:13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works,
your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
EXO 5:14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's
taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have
ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as
heretofore?
EXO 5:15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried
unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
