24. The Lord made His people very fruitful;He made them more numerous than their foes,
25. whose hearts He turned to hate His peopleand to deal deceptively with His servants.

27. They performed His miraculous signs among them,and wonders in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness, and it became dark —for did they not defy His commands?
29. He turned their water into bloodand caused their fish to die.
30. Their land was overrun with frogs,even in their royal chambers.
31. He spoke, and insects came —gnats throughout their country.
32. He gave them hail for rain,and lightning throughout their land.
33. He struck their vines and fig treesand shattered the trees of their territory.
34. He spoke, and locusts came —young locusts without number.
35. They devoured all the vegetation in their landand consumed the produce of their land.
