He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
33He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
