At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah who sat on the throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock...There was not a house without someone dead.
—Exodus 12:29-30
My household would be eliminated. The wife. The child. Myself. All firstborn. There would be no one to weep and gnash their teeth at the deaths of the others. We would cease to exist. If that doesn't stop one to pause and ponder the Fear of the Lord, then I don't know what will.
