²⁶ He sent Moses^(A) his servant,
    and Aaron,^(B) whom he had chosen.^(C)
27 They performed^(D) his signs^(E) among them,
    his wonders^(F) in the land of Ham.
²⁸ He sent darkness^(G) and made the land dark—
    for had they not rebelled against^(H) his words?
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood,^(I)
    causing their fish to die.^(J)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,^(K)
    which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
³¹ He spoke,^(L) and there came swarms of flies,^(M)
    and gnats^(N) throughout their country.
³² He turned their rain into hail,^(O)
    with lightning throughout their land;
³³ he struck down their vines^(P) and fig trees^(Q)
    and shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴ He spoke,^(R) and the locusts came,^(S)
    grasshoppers^(T) without number;^(U)
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^(V) in their land,
    the firstfruits of all their manhood.
³⁷ He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,^(W)
    and from among their tribes no one faltered.
³⁸ Egypt was glad when they left,
    because dread of Israel^(X) had fallen on them.

⁴³ the day he displayed his signs^(A) in Egypt,
    his wonders^(B) in the region of Zoan.
⁴⁴ He turned their river into blood;^(C)
    they could not drink from their streams.
⁴⁵ He sent swarms of flies^(D) that devoured them,
    and frogs^(E) that devastated them.
⁴⁶ He gave their crops to the grasshopper,^(F)
    their produce to the locust.^(G)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail^(H)
    and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
⁴⁸ He gave over their cattle to the hail,
    their livestock^(I) to bolts of lightning.
⁴⁹ He unleashed against them his hot anger,^(J)
    his wrath, indignation and hostility—
    a band of destroying angels.^(K)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death
    but gave them over to the plague.
⁵¹ He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,^(L)
    the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.^(M)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;^(N)
    he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
⁵³ He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
    but the sea engulfed^(O) their enemies.^(P)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
    to the hill country his right hand^(Q) had taken.
⁵⁵ He drove out nations^(R) before them
    and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;^(S)
    he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.

⁵⁶ But they put God to the test
    and rebelled against the Most High;
    they did not keep his statutes.
⁵⁷ Like their ancestors^(T) they were disloyal and faithless,
    as unreliable as a faulty bow.^(U)
58 They angered him^(V) with their high places;^(W)
    they aroused his jealousy with their idols.^(X)
