Psalm 78:48-50
New Catholic Bible
48 He exposed their cattle to hailstones
and their flocks to bolts of lightning.
49 He sent upon them his blazing anger,
wrath, fury, and hostility,
a band of destroying angels.[a]
50 He gave his anger free rein;
he did not spare them from death
but delivered their lives to the plague.
