15:8 I will hold my tongue no more as touching their wickedness, which
they profanely commit, neither will I suffer them in those things, in
which they wickedly exercise themselves: behold, the innocent and
righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the just complain
continually.
15:9 And therefore, saith the Lord, I will surely avenge them, and
receive unto me all the innocent blood from among them.
15:10 Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not
suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt:
15:11 But I will bring them with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm,
and smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all the land
thereof.
15:12 Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be smitten with
the plague and punishment that God shall bring upon it.
15:13 They that till the ground shall mourn: for their seeds shall fail
through the blasting and hail, and with a fearful constellation.
15:14 Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!
15:15 For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people
shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.
15:16 For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another;
they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their
