16And He called for a famine upon the land;
            He broke the whole staff of bread.
      17He sent a man before them,
            Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
      18They afflicted his feet with fetters,
            He himself was laid in irons;
      19Until the time that his word came to pass,
            The word of the LORD tested him.
      20The king sent and released him,
            The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
      21He made him lord of his house
            And ruler over all his possessions,
      22To imprison his princes at will,
            That he might teach his elders wisdom.
      23Israel also came into Egypt;
            Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
      24And He caused His people to be very fruitful,
            And made them stronger than their adversaries.
      25He turned their heart to hate His people,
            To deal craftily with His servants.
      26He sent Moses His servant,
            And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
      27They performed His wondrous acts among them,
            And miracles in the land of Ham.
      28He sent darkness and made it dark;
            And they did not rebel against His words.
      29He turned their waters into blood
            And caused their fish to die.
      30Their land swarmed with frogs
            Even in the chambers of their kings.
      31He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies
            And gnats in all their territory.
      32He gave them hail for rain,
            And flaming fire in their land.
      33He struck down their vines also and their fig trees,
            And shattered the trees of their territory.
      34He spoke, and locusts came,
            And young locusts, even without number,
      35And ate up all vegetation in their land,
            And ate up the fruit of their ground.
      36He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
            The first fruits of all their vigor.
      37Then He brought them out with silver and gold,
            And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
      38Egypt was glad when they departed,
            For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
      39He spread a cloud for a covering,
            And fire to illumine by night.
      40They asked, and He brought quail,
            And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
      41He opened the rock and water flowed out;
            It ran in the dry places like a river.
      42For He remembered His holy word
            With Abraham His servant;
      43And He brought forth His people with joy,
            His chosen ones with a joyful shout.
      44He gave them also the lands of the nations,
            That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
      45So that they might keep His statutes
            And observe His laws,
            Praise the LORD!
