"I sent... a plague after the manner of Egypt"
Text: Amos 4:10
THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT
The plagues of Egypt were described carefully in the Book of Exodus (Exodus 7-12). The plague of locusts was the eighth plague that devastated Egypt (Exodus 10:12-15). God had promised Israel that He would not put any of those diseases upon Israel if they were obedient to Him (Exodus 15:26). The Lord would heal them if they were to turn to Him.
“‘I sent among you a plague after the manner of Egypt;
Your young men I killed with a sword,
Along with your captive horses;
I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,’
says the LORD.”
Amos 4:10
