Psalms 78:46

44 He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.

45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.

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.

48 He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
