Exodus 10:5

The Eighth Plague: Locusts

4But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.5They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields. 6They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
