Judith 5:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ But when a famine spread through the land of Canaan, they went down to live as strangers in Egypt, where there was food. While they were there, their numbers increased so that they couldn’t be counted. ¹¹ Then the king of Egypt turned against them and took advantage of them, enslaving them and forcing them to make bricks. ¹² They cried out to their God, and he sent incurable plagues upon the entire land of Egypt, so that the Egyptians drove them out of their sight.
