Exodus 9:13-18

Thomson(i) 13 Then the Lord said to Moses, Rise early to-morrow morning and stand before Pharao and say to him, Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me. 14 For at this time I am going to send all my plagues into thy heart and the heart of thy servants and thy people, that thou mayst know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 I might now indeed have stretched forth my hand and smitten thee and destroyed thy people with pestilence, so that thou shouldst have been blotted out from the earth: 16 but thou hast been preserved for this purpose that by thee I might display my power and that my name may be celebrated throughout all the earth. 17 Shouldst thou therefore still determine with respect to my people not to let them go, 18 behold at this time to-morrow I will pour down a great storm of hail; such as hath never been in Egypt, from the day it was created even to this day.
