Psalms 78:50-52

⁵⁰He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.

⁵¹He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁵²But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.
