Exodus 9:23-35
New American Standard Bible
23 So Moses reached out with his staff toward the sky, and the Lord [a]sent [b]thunder and (A)hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire flashing intermittently in the midst of the hail, which was very heavy, such as had not occurred in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 (B)The hail struck everything that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, from people to animals; the hail also struck every plant of the field, and shattered every tree of the field. 26 (C)Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 Then Pharaoh [c](D)sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “(E)I have sinned this time; the Lord is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones. 28 (F)Plead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God’s [d]thunder and hail; and (G)I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.” 29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, I will (H)spread out my [e]hands to the Lord; the [f]thunder will cease and there will no longer be hail, so that you may know that (I)the earth is the Lord’s. 30 (J)But as for you and your servants, I know that (K)you do not yet [g]fear [h]the Lord God.” 31 (Now the flax and the (L)barley were [i]ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud. 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not [j]ruined, for they ripen late.) 33 (M)So Moses left the city from his meeting with Pharaoh, and spread out his [k]hands to the Lord; and the [l]thunder and the hail stopped, and rain [m]no longer poured on the earth. 34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the [n]thunder had stopped, he sinned again and [o]hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart was [p]hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the (N)Lord had spoken through Moses.

Exodus 9:23-35
New International Version
23 When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder(A) and hail,(B) and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; 24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.(C) 25 Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree.(D) 26 The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen,(E) where the Israelites were.(F)
27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,”(G) he said to them. “The Lord is in the right,(H) and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Pray(I) to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go;(J) you don’t have to stay any longer.”
29 Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands(K) in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth(L) is the Lord’s. 30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear(M) the Lord God.”
31 (The flax and barley(N) were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. 32 The wheat and spelt,(O) however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart(P) was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

2 Behold, the Lord has a strong and (A)mighty agent;
As a storm of (B)hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like a storm of (C)mighty overflowing waters,
He has thrown it down to the earth with His hand.
