Exodus 9:13-21

13Then the Lord said to Moses, “1Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, “2Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 14For this time I will send all My plagues 3on you and your servants and your people, so that 4you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth. 15For if by now I had put forth My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, you would then have been cut off from the earth. 16But, indeed, 5for this reason I have allowed you to 6remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth. 17Still you exalt yourself against My people 7by not letting them go. 18Behold, about this time tomorrow, 8I will 9send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded 10until now. 19Now therefore send, bring 11your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. 12Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.”’” 20 13The one among the servants of Pharaoh who 14feared the word of the Lord made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses; 21but he who 15paid no regard to the word of the Lord 16left his servants and his livestock in the field.
