14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and settled down in all the territory of Egypt. They were very grievous. Never before had there been such locusts as they, nor would there be such ever again.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. As a result, nothing green remained there in the trees or herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste and said, “I have sinned against the Lord, your God, and against you.
17 Now therefore please forgive my sin only this once, and entreat the Lord your God, so that He may take away from me this death only.”
18 So he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
19 Then the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts and threw them into the Red Sea. Not one locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
