Exodus 8:17 — “And all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.”

A thousand rats came forth from the dust, multiplying beneath the moon and feasting upon the confidence of the crowd.

But every plague hath its appointed end.

The granaries shall be emptied, the revelry shall cease, and the swarm shall flee before the coming judgment. One by one shall they return unto the earth from which they arose, until 0.02400 remaineth as the mark of their passing.

What gathereth in thousands may scatter in a single night.
