43 When He performed His (A)signs in Egypt
And His (B)marvels in the field of Zoan,
44 And (C)turned their rivers to blood,
And their streams, so that they could not drink.
45 He sent swarms of (D)flies among them that devoured them,
And (E)frogs that destroyed them.
46 He also gave their crops to the (F)grasshopper
And the product of their labor to the (G)locust.
47 He [a]destroyed their vines with (H)hailstones
And their sycamore trees with frost.
48 He also turned their (I)cattle over to the hailstones,
And their herds to bolts of lightning.
49 He (J)sent His burning anger upon them,
Fury and indignation and trouble,
A band of [b]destroying angels.
50 He leveled a path for His anger;
He did not spare their souls from death,
But (K)turned their lives over to the plague,
51 And (L)struck all the firstborn in Egypt,
The (M)first and best of their vigor in the tents of (N)Ham.

The (M)first fruits of all their vigor.
