Exodus 9:23

The fire ran along upon the ground— Like a fiery whirlwind, scorching up and beating down all before it. In the Wisdom of Solomon, Exodus 16:16 this plague is strongly described: "for the ungodly that denied to know thee were scourged by the strength of thine arm; with strange rains, hails, and showers were they persecuted, which they could not avoid; and through fire were they confirmed. For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water that quencheth all things." To this seventh plague of Egypt the seventh plague upon the spiritual Egypt corresponds. Revelation 17:18.
