Exodus 5:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ And the Hebrew foremen saw that they were in an evil situation when it was said, You shall not diminish in the least your full daily quota of bricks.

²⁰ And the foremen met Moses and Aaron, who were standing in the way as they came forth from Pharaoh.

²¹ And the foremen said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge, because you have made us a rotten stench to be detested by Pharaoh and his servants and have put a sword in their hand to slay us.
