Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.

Go {H3212} ye, get {H3947} you straw {H8401} where {H834} ye can find {H4672} it: yet {H3588} not ought {H1697} of your work {H5656} shall be diminished {H1639}.

You go, yourselves, and get straw wherever you can find it. But your output is not to be reduced.'"

Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”

Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished.
