10And he said to them, May the Lord be with you, if I will let you and your little ones go! take care, for your purpose clearly is evil.
11Not so; but let your males go and give worship to the Lord, as your desire is. This he said, driving them out from before him.
12And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the land of Egypt so that the locusts may come up on the land for the destruction of every green plant in the land, even everything untouched by the ice-storm.
13And Moses' rod was stretched out over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and all the night; and in the morning the locusts came up with the east wind.
14And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, resting on every part of the land, in very great numbers; such an army of locusts had never been seen before, and never will be again.
15For all the face of the earth was covered with them, so that the land was black; and every green plant and all the fruit of the trees which was untouched by the ice-storm they took for food: not one green thing, no plant or tree, was to be seen in all the land of Egypt.
16Then Pharaoh quickly sent for Moses and Aaron, and said, I have done evil against the Lord your God and against you.
