²² such wonderful things in the land of Ham,
    such awesome deeds at the Red Sea.

²³ Then Israel arrived in Egypt;
    Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

⁵¹ He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family,
    the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.^[a]

²⁷ They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians,
    and wonders in the land of Ham.
²⁸ The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness,
    for they had defied^[a] 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.

¹⁰ But you blew with your breath,
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.
