Exodus 5:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ The taskmasters were brutal. “Fulfill your daily quota just as before,” they kept demanding. ¹⁴ Then they whipped the Israeli work-crew bosses. “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quotas either yesterday or today?” they roared.

¹⁵ These foremen went to Pharaoh and pleaded with him. “Don’t treat us like this,” they begged.
