Shew

“Ask for a sign from the Lord your God—from the depths of Sheol to the heights of heaven.”

But He answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

So the Jews replied to Him, “What sign of authority will You show us for doing these things?”

“What sign then are You going to do so we may see and believe You?” they asked. “What are You going to perform?

But if I am doing them and you don’t believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.”

Take

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord had commanded. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.

The Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A staff,” he replied.

So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail. Lightning struck the earth, and the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.

So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and through the night. By morning the east wind had brought in the locusts.

A serpent

God my King is from ancient times,
performing saving acts on the earth.

Speak to him and say: This is what the Lord God says:

Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great monster

lying in the middle of his Nile,

who says, ‘My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.’
