Forgetting the Plagues and Deliverance

40

How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

41

And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

42

They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

43

How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

44

And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

45

He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.

46

He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.

47

He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

48

He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

49

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.

50

He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

51

And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
