16 Moreover lhe called for a famine upon the land: He mbrake the whole mstaff of bread. 17 nHe sent a man before them, Even Joseph, who owas sold for a servant: 18 pWhose feet they hurt with qfetters: †He was laid in iron: 19 Until the time that shis word came: tThe word of the Lord utried him. 20 wThe king sent and xloosed him; Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 yHe made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his †substance: 22 zTo bind his princes aat his pleasure; And teach his senators wisdom. 23 bIsrael also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned cin the land of Ham. 24 And dhe increased his people greatly; And made them stronger than their enemies. 25 eHe turned their heart to hate his people, To fdeal subtilly with his servants. 26 gHe sent Moses his servant; And gAaron hwhom he had chosen. 27 iThey shewed †his signs among them, And jwonders cin the land of Ham. 28 kHe sent darkness, and lmade it dark; And mthey rebelled not against his word. 29 nHe turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish. 30 oTheir land pbrought forth frogs in abundance, In the qchambers of their kings. 31 wHe spake, and there came rdivers sorts of flies, And slice in all their coasts. 32 t†He gave them hail for rain, And flaming ufire in their land. 33 tHe smote their vines also and their fig trees; And brake the trees of their coasts. 34 wHe spake, and the xlocusts came, And ycaterpillers, and that without number, 35 And did zeat up all the herbs in their land, And zdevoured the fruit of their ground. 36 aHe smote also all the firstborn in their land, aThe chief of all their strength. 37 He brought them forth also bwith silver and gold: And there was not one cfeeble person among their tribes. 38 dEgypt was glad when they departed: For ethe fear of them fell upon them. 39 fHe gspread a cloud for a covering; And fire to give light in the night. 40 The people hasked, and ihe brought quails, And satisfied them with kthe bread of heaven. 41 lHe opened the rock, and mthe waters gushed out; They ran in the ndry places like a river. 42 For ohe remembered his holy promise, And Abraham his servant. 43 And he brought forth his people with joy, And phis chosen with †gladness: 44 And qgave them the lands of the heathen: And they inherited qthe labour of the people; 45 rThat they might observe his statutes, And skeep his laws. †Praise ye the Lord.
