English Standard Version

The Seventh Plague: Hail

¹³Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Rise up early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. ¹⁴For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself,^[a] and on your servants and your people, so ^(B)that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth. ¹⁵For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth. ¹⁶^(C)But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so ^(D)that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. ¹⁷^(E)You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go.
