Psalms 78:49

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.

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.

51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.
