So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said,“ This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you refuse to submit to me? Let my people go, so they can worship me.If you refuse, watch out! For tomorrow I will bring a swarm of locusts on your country.They will cover the land so that you won’t be able to see the ground. They will devour what little is left of your crops after the hailstorm, including all the trees growing in the fields.They will overrun your palaces and the homes of your officials and all the houses in Egypt.

Imprison them in the world of the dead.Then even I would praise you, for your own strength would save you.

for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!

Then Laban and Bethuel replied,“ The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say.

They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast.They will all agree to give him their power and authority.Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”
