were swarming everywhere. Never before had there been so many locusts in Egypt, and never again will there be so many.
Sometimes the crops may dry up or rot or be eaten by locusts or grasshoppers, and your people will be starving. Sometimes enemies may surround their towns, or your people will become sick with deadly diseases.
God let worms and grasshoppers eat their crops.
Everywhere in Egypt there will be loud crying. Nothing like this has ever happened before or will ever happen again.
All right. At this time tomorrow, he will bring on Egypt the worst hailstorm in its history.
locusts, who have no king, but march like an army;

You will plant a lot of seed, but gather a small harvest, because locusts will eat your crops.
Locusts will eat your crops and strip your trees of leaves and fruit.
