We hear of the plague against the livestock, the plague of boils, and the plague of hail. We are not told how much time there was in between each plague. It seems there was enough time for many Egyptians to buy more livestock before they were again decimated by the hail. Then we hear about the plague of locusts followed by the plague of darkness.
Elihu gives his 4th chapter
James preaches against the way the world had infiltrated the church. He gives an important clue about why God doesn't answer our prayers. And he teaches that we need to purify our hearts from pride and having divided loyalty between God and the world. He gives a big clue on how to be rid of Satan's influence. Finally James teaches us how prideful it is to judge others, and warns about prideful planning.
