14. The locusts went up over the entire land of Egypt and settled on the whole territory of Egypt. Never before had there been such a large number of locusts, and there never will be again.
15. They covered the surface of the whole land so that the land was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green was left on the trees or the plants in the field throughout the land of Egypt.
16. Pharaoh urgently sent for Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you.
17. Please forgive my sin once more and make an appeal to Yahweh your God, so that He will take this death away from me.”
18. Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the Lord.
19. Then the Lord changed the wind to a strong west wind, and it carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the territory of Egypt.
