Impending Judgment on the Earth

24 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.

27 They (A)performed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.
29 (B)He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.
30 (C)Their land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 (D)He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.
32 (E)He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 (F)He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.
34 (G)He spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 (H)He also [a]destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
(I)The first of all their strength.

37 (J)He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.
38 (K)Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 (L)He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40 (M)The people asked, and He brought quail,
And (N)satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 (O)He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.

42 For He remembered (P)His holy promise,
And Abraham His servant.
43 He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with [b]gladness.
44 (Q)He gave them the lands of the [c]Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations,
45 (R)That they might observe His statutes
And keep His laws.

[d]Praise the Lord!

  1. Psalm 87:4 Egypt

43 When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
44 (A)Turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
45 (B)He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And (C)frogs, which destroyed them.
46 He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the (D)locust.
47 (E)He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
48 He also gave up their (F)cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery [a]lightning.
49 He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.
50 He made a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave [b]their life over to the plague,
51 And destroyed all the (G)firstborn in Egypt,
The first of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52 But He (H)made His own people go forth like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
53 And He (I)led them on safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea (J)overwhelmed their enemies.
54 And He brought them to His (K)holy border,
This mountain (L)which His right hand had acquired.
55 (M)He also drove out the nations before them,
(N)Allotted them an inheritance by [c]survey,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56 (O)Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God,
And did not keep His testimonies,
57 But (P)turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;
They were turned aside (Q)like a deceitful bow.
58 (R)For they provoked Him to anger with their (S)high places,
And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
59 When God heard this, He was furious,
And greatly abhorred Israel,
60 (T)So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
The tent He had placed among men,
61 (U)And delivered His strength into captivity,
And His glory into the enemy’s hand.
62 (V)He also gave His people over to the sword,
And was furious with His inheritance.
63 The fire consumed their young men,
And (W)their maidens were not given in marriage.
64 (X)Their priests fell by the sword,
And (Y)their widows made no lamentation.

65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
(Z)Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
66 And (AA)He beat back His enemies;
He put them to a perpetual reproach.

67 Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion (AB)which He loved.
69 And He built His (AC)sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever.
70 (AD)He also chose David His servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From following (AE)the ewes that had young He brought him,
(AF)To shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.
72 So he shepherded them according to the (AG)integrity of his heart,
And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

  1. Deuteronomy 4:34 calamities

Moses Before Pharaoh

So the Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you (A)as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be (B)your prophet. You (C)shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. And (D)I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and (E)multiply My (F)signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. But (G)Pharaoh will not heed you, so (H)that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My [a]armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt (I)by great judgments. And the Egyptians (J)shall know that I am the Lord, when I (K)stretch out My hand on Egypt and (L)bring out the children of Israel from among them.”

Then Moses and Aaron (M)did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. And Moses was (N)eighty years old and (O)Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Aaron’s Miraculous Rod(P)

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, (Q)‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, (R)‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ” 10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just (S)as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it (T)became a serpent.

11 But Pharaoh also (U)called the wise men and (V)the [b]sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also (W)did in like manner with their [c]enchantments. 12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. 13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the Lord had said.

The First Plague: Waters Become Blood

14 So the Lord said to Moses: (X)“Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the (Y)water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him; and (Z)the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
