47 He killed their vines with hail
and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.
48 He handed over their livestock to hail
and their cattle to lightning bolts.(A)
49 He sent His burning anger against them:
fury, indignation, and calamity—
a band of deadly messengers.[a](B)
50 He cleared a path for His anger.
He did not spare them from death
but delivered their lives to the plague.(C)
51 He struck all the firstborn(D) in Egypt,
the first progeny of the tents of Ham.[b](E)
52 He led His people out like sheep
and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.(F)
53 He led them safely, and they were not afraid;
but the sea covered their enemies.(G)
