and they said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge — you have made us reek in the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, putting a sword in their hand to kill us.”
In context
19The Israelite foremen saw that they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.” 20As they came out from Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, 21and they said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge — you have made us reek in the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, putting a sword in their hand to kill us.” 22Then Moses turned back to Yahweh and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why did you ever send me? 23Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have done nothing at all to rescue them.”
