Exodus 5:19-21

New International Version - UK

¹⁹ The Israelite overseers realised they were in trouble when they were told, ‘You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day.’ ²⁰ When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, ²¹ and they said, ‘May the Lord look on you and judge you! You have made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.’
