46 He gave [05414] also their increase [02981] unto the caterpiller [02625], and their labour [03018] unto the locust [0697].
14 And the locusts [0697] went up [05927] over all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and rested [05117] in all the coasts [01366] of Egypt [04714]: very [03966] grievous [03515] were they; before [06440] them there were no such [03651] locusts [0697] as they, neither after [0310] them shall be such.
15 For they covered [03680] the face [05869] of the whole earth [0776], so that the land [0776] was darkened [02821]; and they did eat [0398] every herb [06212] of the land [0776], and all the fruit [06529] of the trees [06086] which the hail [01259] had left [03498]: and there remained [03498] not any green thing [03418] in the trees [06086], or in the herbs [06212] of the field [07704], through all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
4 Else [03588], if thou refuse [03986] to let my people [05971] go [07971], behold, to morrow [04279] will I bring [0935] the locusts [0697] into thy coast [01366]:
5 And they shall cover [03680] the face [05869] of the earth [0776], that one cannot be able [03201] to see [07200] the earth [0776]: and they shall eat [0398] the residue [03499] of that which is escaped [06413], which remaineth [07604] unto you from the hail [01259], and shall eat [0398] every tree [06086] which groweth [06779] for you out of the field [07704]:
6 And they shall fill [04390] thy houses [01004], and the houses [01004] of all thy servants [05650], and the houses [01004] of all the Egyptians [04714]; which neither thy fathers [01], nor thy fathers [01]' fathers [01] have seen [07200], since the day [03117] that they were upon the earth [0127] unto this day [03117]. And he turned [06437] himself, and went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547].
