27 They performed his signs among them,

His miracles in the land of Ham.+

28 He sent darkness and the land became dark;+

They did not rebel against his words.

29 He changed their waters into blood

And killed their fish.+

30 Their land swarmed with frogs,+

Even in the royal chambers.

31 He ordered the gadflies to invade

And gnats in all their territories.+

32 He turned their rain to hail

And sent lightning* on their land.+

33 He struck their vines and their fig trees

And shattered the trees of their territory.

34 He said that the locusts should invade,

Young locusts without number.+

35 They devoured all the vegetation in the land,

And they devoured the produce of the ground.

36 Then he struck down every firstborn in their land,+

The beginning of their procreative power.
