7133. 'Saying, Finish your work, your stint for the day' means that they should serve falsities so called in every state. This is clear from the meaning of 'finishing your work' as serving falsities (for fabrications and falsities which are introduced are meant by 'making bricks', see 7113, and since these are the work which they were to finish, an insistence that they should serve them is meant; the expression 'falsities so called' is used because falsities are considered by the evil who utter them to be not falsities but truths); and from the meaning of 'stint for the day' as in every state - 'day' meaning state, see 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850.
