16
Pharaoh hurriedly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17
Do forgive my sin just this once, and pray to the Lord your God that at the least he remove this deadly thing from me."
18
So he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
19
The Lord changed the wind into a very strong west wind, which lifted the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea; not a single locust was left in all the country of Egypt.
20
But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
