14 This time I’m going to send all my plagues on you, your officials, and your people so that you will know that there is no one like me in the whole world.
15 By now I could have used my power to strike you and your people with a deadly disease so that you would have disappeared from the earth.
16 But I’ve left you standing for this reason: in order to show you my power and in order to make my name known in the whole world.
17 You are still abusing your power against my people, and you refuse to let them go.
18 Tomorrow at this time I’ll cause the heaviest hail to fall on Egypt that has ever fallen from the day Egypt was founded until now.
19 So bring under shelter your livestock and all that belongs to you that is out in the open. Every person or animal that is out in the open field and isn’t brought inside will die when the hail rains down on them."
20 Some of Pharaoh’s officials who took the Lord’s word seriously rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside for shelter.
