And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that {was} in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. {dungeon: Heb. house of the pit}

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

God {is} jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and {is} furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth {wrath} for his enemies. {God...: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}

{They shall be} burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. {heat: Heb. coals}

I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; {He made...: Heb. He weighed a path} {life...: or, beasts to the murrain}

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc}

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail {stones} and coals of fire.

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as {by} the flood of Egypt.

{They shall be} burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. {heat: Heb. coals}

The LORD {is} slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit {the wicked}: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds {are} the dust of his feet.
