15 For by now I could have stretched out My hand, so that I might strike you and your people with pestilence, and you would be cut off from the earth.
16 But, indeed, for this cause I have raised you up, in order to show in you My power and so that My name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 Still, you exalt yourself against My people by forbidding them to go.
18 Certainly, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very severe hail, such as has not happened in Egypt since it was founded until now.
19 Send therefore now and bring your livestock and all that you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast which shall be found in the field and not brought home when the hail comes down upon them will die.’ ”
20 He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses.
21 But he that failed to regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.
