Exodus 9:15-19

The Seventh Plague: Hail

15 For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth. 16 b But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so c that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. 17 d You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go. 18 Behold, about this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall, such as never has been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now. 19 Now therefore send, e get your livestock and all that you have in the field into safe shelter, for every man and beast that is in the field and is not brought home will die when the hail falls on them."'"
