Psalm 105:30

Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.

28He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
Notice
