But the quota of the bricks that they [were] making {before} {you must require of them}. You must not reduce from it, because they [are] lazy. Therefore they [are] crying out, saying, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

And the foremen of the {Israelites} saw they were in trouble {with the saying}, "You will not reduce from your bricks {for each day} on its day."

If he takes for himself another, he will not reduce her food, her clothing, or her right of cohabitation.

In those days, Yahweh began to reduce Israel, so Hazael defeated them in every territory of Israel,

"And if [it is] not [so], then who can prove me a liar and reduce my word to nothing?"

Therefore {as surely as I live}, {declares} the Lord Yahweh, {Surely} because you have defiled my sanctuary with all of your vile idols and with all of your detestable things, {now indeed I} will reduce, and my eye will not take pity, and surely I will show no compassion.
