Exodus 5:19-23

19The foremenH7860 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that they were in troubleH7451 1because they were toldH559, “You must not reduceH1639 2your dailyH3117 amountH1697H3117 of bricksH3843.” 20When they leftH3318 Pharaoh’sH6547 presenceH4480H854, they metH6293 MosesH4872 and AaronH175 as they were 3waitingH5324 for them. 214They saidH559 to them, “5May the LordH3068 lookH7200 upon you and judgeH8199 you, for you have 6madeH887 7us odiousH887H7381 in Pharaoh’sH6547 sightH5869 and in the sightH5869 of his servantsH5650, to putH5414 a swordH2719 in their handH3027 to killH2026 us.”

22Then MosesH4872 returnedH7725 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “8O LordH136, whyH4100 have You broughtH7489 harmH7489 to thisH2088 peopleH5971? WhyH4100 did You everH2088 sendH7971 me? 23Ever sinceH3975 I cameH935 to PharaohH6547 to speakH1696 in Your nameH8034, he has doneH7489 harmH7489 to thisH2088 peopleH5971, 9and You have not deliveredH5337 Your peopleH5971 at allH5337.”
