4 If you refuse to let my people leave, tomorrow I will send a plague of locusts into your country. 5 There will be so many of them that they’ll cover the ground so no one can see it. They will eat whatever crops were left by the hail, as well as every tree growing in your fields.
7 Pharaoh’s officials came to him and asked, "How long are you going to let this man cause us trouble?10:7. "Cause us trouble": literally, "be a snare to us." Let these people go so they can worship the Lord their God. Don’t you realize that Egypt has been destroyed?"
11 So no! Only the men can go and worship the Lord, because that’s what you’ve been asking for." Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out.
13 Moses held out his staff over Egypt, and all through that day and night the Lord sent an east wind blowing over the land. By the time morning came the east wind had brought in the locusts.
14 The locusts swarmed across the land and settled in every part of the country. There had never been such a swarm of locusts ever before, and there won’t be ever again. 15 They covered the ground until it looked black, and they ate up all the plants in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had been left by the hail. Not a single green leaf was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
19 The Lord changed the direction of the wind so that a strong westerly wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. There wasn’t a single locust left anywhere in Egypt.
