Context of Psalms 105:34
32He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. 33He struck their vines also, and their fig trees, And splintered the trees of their territory. He spoke, and locusts came, Young locusts without number, 35And ate up all the vegetation in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground. 36He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, The first of all their strength.
