16. And indeed for this very cause have I raised you up, to show in you my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17. And yet exalt you yourself against my people, that you will not let them go?
18. Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the foundation of it even until now.

21. And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
