14. This time, I will use my full power against you, your officials, and your people. Then you will know that there is no god in the world like me.
15. I could use my power and cause a disease that would wipe you and your people off the earth.
16. But I have put you here for a reason. I have put you here so that I could show you my power. Then people all over the world will learn about me!
17. You are still against my people. You are not letting them go free.
18. So at this time tomorrow, I will cause a very bad hailstorm. There has never been a hailstorm like this in Egypt, not since Egypt became a nation.
19. Now, you must put your animals in a safe place. Everything you own that is now in the fields must be put in a safe place. Any person or animal that remains in the fields will be killed. The hail will fall on everything that is not gathered into your houses.’”
20. Some of Pharaoh’s officials paid attention to the Lord’S message. They quickly put all of their animals and slaves into houses.
21. But other people ignored the Lord’S message and lost all their slaves and animals that were in the fields.
