Exodus 10:14-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.

15. And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.

16. For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: "I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.

17. But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me."

18. And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.

19. And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.

20. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
