31. He spake. See the power of the
divine word. He had only to say it and it was done: and there came divers sorts of flies. Insects of various annoying kinds came up in infinite
hordes, a mixture of biting, stinging, buzzing gnats, mosquitoes, flies,
beetles, and other vermin such as make people’s flesh their prey, the place of
deposit for their eggs, and the seat of particular torments. And lice in all their coasts. These unutterably loathsome forms of life were as the dust of
the ground, and covered their persons, their garments, and all they ate.
Nothing is too small to master man when God commands it to assail him.
