¹³ “Behold, ^(A)I am against you,” says the Lord of hosts, “I will burn ^[a]your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your ^(B)messengers shall be heard no more.”

¹³ So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. ¹⁴ And ^(A)the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; ^(B)previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them. ¹⁵ For they ^(C)covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ^(D)ate every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
