78:42 They did not remember what he had done, 1
how he delivered them from the enemy, 2
78:43 when he performed his awesome deeds 3 in Egypt,
and his acts of judgment 4 in the region of Zoan.
78:44 He turned their rivers into blood,
and they could not drink from their streams.
78:45 He sent swarms of biting insects against them, 5
as well as frogs that overran their land. 6
78:46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
the fruit of their labor to the locust.
78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycamore-fig trees with driving rain.
78:48 He rained hail down on their cattle, 7
and hurled lightning bolts down on their livestock. 8
78:49 His raging anger lashed out against them, 9
He sent fury, rage, and trouble
as messengers who bring disaster. 10
78:50 He sent his anger in full force; 11
he did not spare them from death;
he handed their lives over to destruction. 12
78:51 He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,
the firstfruits of their reproductive power 13 in the tents of Ham.
