Haydock's commentary
Things. Septuagint, "therefore by similar things they," &c. (Haydock)
The Egyptians were punished for their idolatry by beasts, though they worshipped them, (Haydock) being infested with insects, frogs, locusts, &c., (chap. xii. 23., and Exodus viii., and x.; Calmet) and seeing their first-born perish for their cruelty. (Worthington)
