4 For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring (A)locusts into your country, 5 and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land. And they shall (B)eat what is left to you after the hail, and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field, 6 and they shall fill (C)your houses and the houses of all your servants and of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day they came on earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Then Pharaoh's servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?” 8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, (D)“Go, serve the Lord your God. But which ones are to go?” 9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for (E)we must hold a feast to the Lord.” 10 But he said to them, “The Lord be with you, if ever I let you and your (F)little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.[a] 11 No! Go, the men among you, and serve the Lord, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, (G)“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and (H)eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.” 13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts. 14 (I)The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, (J)such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again. 15 They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and (K)they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 10:4-15
New International Version
4 If you refuse(A) to let them go, I will bring locusts(B) into your country tomorrow. 5 They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left(C) after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields.(D) 6 They will fill your houses(E) and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your parents nor your ancestors have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.’”(F) Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh.
7 Pharaoh’s officials said to him, “How long will this man be a snare(G) to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the Lord their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?”(H)
8 Then Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship(I) the Lord your God,” he said. “But tell me who will be going.”
9 Moses answered, “We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival(J) to the Lord.”
10 Pharaoh said, “The Lord be with you—if I let you go, along with your women and children! Clearly you are bent on evil.[a] 11 No! Have only the men go and worship the Lord, since that’s what you have been asking for.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh’s presence.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand(K) over Egypt so that locusts swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.”
13 So Moses stretched out his staff(L) over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts;(M) 14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts,(N) nor will there ever be again. 15 They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured(O) all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
