¹² ‘I will pass through^(A) the land of Egypt on that night and strike every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, both people and animals. I am the Lord; I will execute judgements against all the gods of Egypt.^(B)

¹² I^[a] will kindle a fire in the temples of Egypt’s gods,^(A) and he will burn them and take them captive. He will clean the land of Egypt as a shepherd picks lice off^[b] his clothes,^(B) and he will leave there unscathed.

⁸ You are angering me by the work of your hands. You are burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to stay for a while. As a result, you will be cut off and become an example for cursing and insult among all the nations of earth.^(A)
