Exodus 9:28-31 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

28. Pray to the Lord, because we've had enough thunder and hail. I'll let you and your people go. You don't have to stay here any longer."

29. Moses replied, "When I've left the city, I'll lift up my hands and pray to the Lord. The thunder will stop. There won't be any more hail. Then you will know that the earth belongs to the Lord.

30. But I know that you and your officials still don't have any respect for the Lord God."

31. The barley was ripe. The flax was blooming. So they were both destroyed.
