That day will be absolutely brutal — full of anger, chaos, and complete devastation. It's going to be dark and heavy, like the worst storm you've ever seen, with thick clouds blocking out any light.

And on that day they will roar against them like the roaring of the ocean: and if someone looks at the land, they will see only darkness and trouble, and even the light in the sky will be darkened.

The locusts covered the entire land so completely that it looked dark. They ate every plant in the country and all the fruit on the trees that had survived the hailstorm. Nothing green was left anywhere—not on the trees or in the fields throughout all of Egypt.
