Exodus 5:19-23

19The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily quota of your bricks.”

20When they went out from Pharaoh, they encountered Moses and Aaron standing there to meet them,

21and they said to them, “May the Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the opinion of Pharaoh and his servants, so that you have given them an excuse to kill us!”

22Moses returned to the Lord, and said, “Lord, why have you caused trouble for this people? Why did you ever send me?

23From the time I went to speak to Pharaoh in your name, he has caused trouble for this people, and you have certainly not rescued them!”
