14. The locusts flew into the country of Egypt and landed on the ground. There were more locusts than there had ever been in Egypt. And there will never again be that many locusts there.
15. They covered the ground, and the whole country became dark. The locusts ate every plant on the ground and all the fruit in the trees that the hail had not destroyed. There were no leaves left on any of the trees or plants anywhere in Egypt.
16. Pharaoh quickly called for Moses and Aaron. Pharaoh said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.
17. Now, forgive me for my sins this time. Ask the Lord to remove this ‘death’ from me.”
18. Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
19. So the Lord changed the wind. He made a very strong wind blow from the west, and it blew the locusts out of Egypt and into the Red Sea. Not one locust was left in Egypt!
20. But the Lord caused Pharaoh to be stubborn again, and Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go.
21. Then the Lord told Moses, “Raise your hand into the air and darkness will cover Egypt. It will be so dark you can feel it!”
