Psalm 105:31-36 Part 1 of 2

When the LORD spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians,

    and gnats swarmed across Egypt.

He sent them hail instead of rain,

    and lightning flashed over the land. 

He ruined their grapevines and fig trees

    and shattered all the trees.

He spoke and hordes of locusts came--

    young locusts beyond number.

They ate up everything green in the land,

    destroying all the crops in their fields.

Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home,

    the pride and joy of each family.

 

When the LORD spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt.

He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them

    and hordes of frogs to ruin them.

He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land. He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees.

Job 38:22-23  

"Have you visited the storehouses of the snow

    or seen the storehouses of hail?

(I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble,

    for the day of battle and war.)" 

Psalm 78:47-48  

He destroyed their grapevines with hail

    and shattered their sycamore-figs with sleet.

He abandoned their cattle to the hail,

    their livestock to bolts of lightning.
