Smoke rose from His nostrils,
and consuming fire came from His mouth;
coals were set ablaze by it.

He parted the heavens and came down,
a dark cloud beneath His feet.

When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh,
my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.

For He spoke, and it came into being;
He commanded, and it came into existence.

He made them fall in His camp,
all around His tent.

Until the time his prediction came true,
the word of the Lord tested him.

He spoke, and insects came—
gnats throughout their country.

He spoke, and locusts came—
young locusts without number.

In the camp they were envious of Moses
and of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.

They loathed all food
and came near the gates of death.

When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language—

This came from the Lord;
it is wonderful in our eyes.
