The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn

29 (A)At midnight the (B)Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, (C)from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was (D)a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.

46 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for (A)wrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.” 47 So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead and the living, and (B)the plague was stopped. 49 Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, (C)besides those who died in the affair of Korah.

God's Wrath Against Nineveh

(A)The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
    the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
(B)the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
    and (C)keeps wrath for his enemies.
(D)The Lord is slow to anger and (E)great in power,
    and (F)the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
(G)His way is in whirlwind and storm,
    and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

50 He made a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death,
    but gave their lives over to the plague.
51 He struck down every (A)firstborn in Egypt,
    the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of (B)Ham.

Then the earth (A)reeled and rocked;
    the foundations also of the mountains trembled
    and quaked, because he was angry.
Smoke went up from his nostrils,[a]
    and devouring (B)fire from his mouth;
    glowing coals flamed forth from him.
He (C)bowed the heavens and (D)came down;
    (E)thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew;
    he came swiftly on (F)the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his (G)canopy around him,
    thick clouds (H)dark with water.
12 Out of the brightness before him
    (I)hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

13 The Lord also (J)thundered in the heavens,
    and the Most High uttered his (K)voice,
    hailstones and coals of fire.
