Moses Complains to the Lord (EXO 5:22-6:1)

[5:22] Then Moses turned to the Lord again and said, “Lord, why do you mistreat your people? Why did you send me here?

[5:23] Ever since I went to the king to speak for you, he has treated them cruelly. And you have done nothing to help them!”

[6:1] Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you are going to see what I will do to the king. I will force him to let my people go. In fact, I will force him to drive them out of his land.”
