Psalms 78:48

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.

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

49 He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.

50 He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
