4 Otherwise, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold at this time to-morrow I will bring a swarm of locusts on all thy borders
5 and they shall cover the face of the ground, so that thou shalt not be able to see the ground; and they shall devour all the remaining product of the land which the hail hath left you; and they shall devour every tree which groweth for you in the land.
6 And thy houses and the houses of thy servants, all the houses of the Egyptians throughout the whole land, shall be filled in such a manner as thy fathers and their forefathers never saw from the time they had an existence in the land even to this day. And Moses turned and went out from Pharao.
7 Upon this the attendants of Pharao said to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? Send the men away that they may serve their God. Dost thou not know that Egypt is ruined?
8 Then they brought back Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God. But who and who are going?
9 And Moses said, We must go with young and old, with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for it is the festival of the Lord.
10 Whereupon he said to them, The Lord be so with you! as I send you away, must I also send away your substance? Take notice! you have wicked intentions.
11 No: Let the men go and worship; for this is what you desire. So they drove them out from the presence of Pharao.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand against the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up against the land. And it shall devour every herb of the field and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left.
13 So Moses lifted up the staff towards heaven and the Lord brought a south wind upon the land all that day and all that night, and by the morning the south wind had lifted up a swarm of locusts
14 and wafted it over the whole land of Egypt: and it settled on all the borders of Egypt; an immense swarm. Such a swarm of locusts had never been before it, nor shall there ever be such a one hereafter.
15 It covered the whole surface of the ground and the land was wasted. And it devoured every herb of the ground and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There was nothing green left among the trees, or among the herbs of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.
