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.
