13 So Moses raised his walking stick over the land of Egypt, and the Lord caused a strong wind to blow from the east. It blew across the land all that day and night, and when morning came, the east wind had brought the locusts.
14 Swarms of locusts covered all the land of Egypt and settled everywhere. There were more locusts than ever before or after,
15 and they covered the whole land so that it was black. They ate everything that was left after the hail—every plant in the field and all the fruit on the trees. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
16 The king quickly called for Moses and Aaron. He said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.
17 Now forgive my sin this time. Pray to the Lord your God, and ask him to stop this punishment that kills.”
18 Moses left the king 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 away into the Red Sea. Not one locust was left anywhere in Egypt.
