Exodus 10:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

11 By no means! Just you men go and serve the Lord.[a] After all, that is what you have been asking for.” With that they were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.

12 (A)The Lord then said to Moses: Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon it and eat up all the land’s vegetation, whatever the hail has left. 13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord drove an east wind[b] over the land all that day and all night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
