Exodus 5:19-21

The Israelite foremen knew they were in trouble, because the king had told them, “You must make just as many bricks each day as you did before.” As they were leaving the meeting with the king, they met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them. So they said to Moses and Aaron, “May the LORD punish you. You caused the king and his officers to hate us. You have given them an excuse to kill us.”
