Psalms 78:45
43 when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
44 He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47 He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
