4 If thou wilt not let my people go: behold, tomorrow will I bring grasshoppers into thy land,
5 and they shall cover the face of the earth that it cannot be seen. And they shall eat the residue, which remaineth unto you and escaped the hail. And they shall eat all your green trees upon the field.
6 And they shall fill thy houses and all thy servants' houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians; after such a manner as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the time they were upon the earth unto this day.'" And he turned himself about, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, "How long shall this fellow thus plague us? Let the men go that they may serve the LORD their God; or else wilt thou see Egypt first destroyed?"
8 And then Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh, and he said unto them, "Go and serve the LORD your God, but who are they that shall go?"
9 And Moses answered, "We must go with young and old: yea and with our sons and with our daughters, and with our sheep and oxen must we go. For we must hold a feast unto the LORD."
10 And he said unto them, "Shall it be so? The LORD be with you! Should I let you go, and your children also? Take heed, for ye have some mischief in hand.
11 Nay, not so: but go ye that are men and serve the LORD, for that was your desire." And they thrust them out of Pharaoh's presence.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for grasshoppers; that they come upon the land of Egypt and eat all the herbs of the land, and all that the hail left untouched."
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land, all that day and all night. And in the morning the east wind brought the grasshoppers,
14 and the grasshoppers went up over all the land of Egypt and lighted in all quarters of Egypt very grievously: so that before them were there no such grasshoppers, neither after them shall be.
15 And they covered all the face of the earth, so that the land was dark therewith. And they ate all the herbs of the land and all the fruits of the trees which the hail had left: so that there was no green thing left in the trees and herbs of the field through all the land of Egypt.
