The Swarm/Quotes

All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became lice.

—The Bible, Exodus

If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.

—God (telling moses what to say), The Bible, Exodus

If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow. They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields. They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your fathers nor your forefathers have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.

—Moses and Aaron (speaking for god), The Bible, Exodus

I send the locusts on a wind. Such as the world has never seen. On ev`ry leaf, on ev`ry stalk. Until there`s nothing left of green

—Chorus, The Prince of Egypt
