18. They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;
19. Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.
20. The king sent and loosed him--the ruler of peoples--and let him go free.
21. He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:
22. To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
23. And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24. And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.
25. He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26. He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen:
27. They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29. He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.
30. Their land swarmed with frogs, --in the chambers of their kings.
31. He spoke, and there came dog-flies, and gnats in all their borders.
32. He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land;
33. And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
