25. whose hearts He turned to hate His peopleand to deal deceptively with His servants.
26. He sent Moses His servant,and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27. They performed His miraculous signs among them,and wonders in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness, and it became dark —for did they not defy His commands?
29. He turned their water into bloodand caused their fish to die.
