²¹ The east wind carries him away, and he departs; It sweeps him out of his place.

²³ Moses stretched forth his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder, hail, and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh rained hail on the land of Egypt.

²⁴ So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

²⁵ The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

³ Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

⁴ He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.

⁵ The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.

⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.

⁷ Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

⁸ But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.

¹⁵ Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, The breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; And his spring will become dry, And his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.

¹⁷ I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

¹⁵ So pursue them with your tempest, And terrify them with your storm.

⁹ Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, He will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

⁶ On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; Fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

¹⁸ That they are as stubble before the wind, As chaff that the storm carries away?

¹⁰ He shall return no more to his house, Neither shall his place know him any more.

²⁷ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."
