28 He sent darkness and made the land dark—

for had they not rebelled against his words?

29 He turned their waters into blood,

causing their fish to die.

30 Their land teemed with frogs,

which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.

31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

and gnats throughout their country.

32 He turned their rain into hail,

with lightning throughout their land;

33 he struck down their vines and fig trees

and shattered the trees of their country.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came,

grasshoppers without number;

35 they ate up every green thing in their land,

ate up the produce of their soil.

36 Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land,

the firstfruits of all their manhood.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;

And they rebelled not against his word.

29 He turned their waters into blood,

And slew their fish.

30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,

In the chambers of their kings.

31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies,

And lice in all their coasts.

32 He gave them hail for rain,

And flaming fire in their land.

33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees;

And brake the trees of their coasts.

34 He spake, and the locusts came,

And caterpillers, and that without number,

35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land,

And devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land,

The chief of all their strength.

28 The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness,

for they had defied his commands to let his people go.

29 He turned their water into blood,

poisoning all the fish.

30 Then frogs overran the land

and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.

31 When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians,

and gnats swarmed across Egypt.

32 He sent them hail instead of rain,

and lightning flashed over the land.

33 He ruined their grapevines and fig trees

and shattered all the trees.

34 He spoke, and hordes of locusts came—

young locusts beyond number.

35 They ate up everything green in the land,

destroying all the crops in their fields.

36 Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,

the pride and joy of each family.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;

And they did not rebel against His word.

29 He turned their waters into blood,

And killed their fish.

30 Their land abounded with frogs,

Even in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

And lice in all their territory.

32 He gave them hail for rain,

And flaming fire in their land.

33 He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,

And splintered the trees of their territory.

34 He spoke, and locusts came,

Young locusts without number,

35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,

And devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land,

The first of all their strength.

28 The Lord sent darkness and made the land dark,

but the Egyptians turned against what he said.

29 So he changed their water into blood

and made their fish die.

30 Then their country was filled with frogs,

even in the bedrooms of their rulers.

31 The Lord spoke and flies came,

and gnats were everywhere in the country.

32 He made hail fall like rain

and sent lightning through their land.

33 He struck down their grapevines and fig trees,

and he destroyed every tree in the country.

34 He spoke and grasshoppers came;

the locusts were too many to count.

35 They ate all the plants in the land

and everything the earth produced.

36 The Lord also killed all the firstborn sons in the land,

the oldest son of each family.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;

And they rebelled not against his words.

29 He turned their waters into blood,

And slew their fish.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs

In the chambers of their kings.

31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies,

And lice in all their borders.

32 He gave them hail for rain,

And flaming fire in their land.

33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,

And brake the trees of their borders.

34 He spake, and the locust came,

And the grasshopper, and that without number,

35 And did eat up every herb in their land,

And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

36 He smote also all the first-born in their land,

The chief of all their strength.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 29 He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die. 30 Their land swarmed with frogs, —in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and there came dog-flies, and gnats in all their borders. 32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land; 33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders. 34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number; 35 And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. 36 And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour.

28 He sent darkness and made ⸤their land⸥ dark. 

They did not rebel against his orders. 

29 He turned their water into blood 

and caused their fish to die. 

30 He made their land swarm with frogs, 

even in the kings’ bedrooms. 

31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats 

infested their whole territory. 

32 He gave them hail and lightning 

instead of rain throughout their land. 

33 He struck their grapevines and fig trees 

and smashed the trees in their territory. 

34 He spoke, and countless locusts and grasshoppers came. 

35 They devoured all the plants in the land. 

They devoured the crops in the fields. 

36 He killed all the firstborn sons, 

the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young. 

28 He sent darkness, and it became dark—

for did they not defy His commands?

29 He turned their water into blood

and caused their fish to die.

30 Their land was overrun with frogs,

even in their royal chambers.

31 He spoke, and insects came —

gnats throughout their country.

32 He gave them hail for rain,

and lightning throughout their land.

33 He struck their vines and fig trees

and shattered the trees of their territory.

34 He spoke, and locusts came—

young locusts without number.

35 They devoured all the vegetation in their land

and consumed the produce of their land.

36 He struck all the firstborn in their land,

all their first progeny.

28 He sent darkness, and made the land dark;

they rebelled against his words.

29 He turned their waters into blood,

and caused their fish to die.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs,

even in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

and gnats throughout their country.

32 He gave them hail for rain,

and lightning that flashed through their land.

33 He struck their vines and fig trees,

and shattered the trees of their country.

and they did not rebel against his words.

29 He turned their waters into blood

and it killed their fish.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs,

even in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spoke, and there came flies

and gnats throughout all their territory.

32 He gave hail for their rains

and the fire of lightning in their land.

33 And he struck their vines and fig trees,

and shattered the trees of their territory.

34 He spoke and there came locusts

and young locusts without number.

35 And they ate up all the vegetation in their land,

and they ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 And he struck down all the firstborn in their land,

the first of all their virility.

28 He sent darkness over the land.

He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.

29 He turned their rivers and streams into blood.

He caused the fish in them to die.

30 Their land was covered with frogs.

Frogs even went into the bedrooms of the rulers.

31 The Lord spoke, and large numbers of flies came.

Gnats filled the whole country.

32 He turned their rain into hail.

Lightning flashed all through their land.

33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees.

He broke down the trees in Egypt.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came.

There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted.

35 They ate up every green thing in the land.

They ate up what the land produced.

36 Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt.

He struck down the oldest of all of their sons.

And gnats in all their territory.

And flaming fire in their land.

33 He struck down their vines also and their fig trees,

And shattered the trees of their territory.

And young locusts, even without number,

35 And ate up all vegetation in their land,

And ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,

The first fruits of all their vigor.
