Psalms 105:25

Compare all

23 ^aIsrael also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt ^bin the land of Ham.

24 ^aHe increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.

25 ^aHe turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

26 ^aHe sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.

27 They ^aperformed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.

29 ^aHe turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.

30 ^aTheir land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.

31 ^aHe spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.

32 ^aHe gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.

33 ^aHe struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.

34 ^aHe spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,

35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 ^aHe also¹ destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
^bThe first of all their strength.

37 ^aHe also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.

38 ^aEgypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

turned their heart—God controls men's free acts (compare I Samuel 10:9). "When Saul had turned his back to go from (God's prophet) Samuel, God turned (Margin) him another heart" (see Exodus 1:8, etc.). Whatever evil the wicked man plots against God's people, God holds bound even his heart, so as not to lay a single plan except what God permits. Thus Isaiah (Isaiah 43:17) says it was God who brought forth the army of Pharaoh to pursue Israel to their own destruction (Exodus 4:21; Exodus 7:3).
