So We unleashed upon them the flood of water which penetrated their houses and which for seven days would come up to people’s necks as they sat; and the locusts which consumed their crops and fruits likewise engulfing them for seven days; and the lice al-qummal is like al-sūs ‘woodworm’ or al-qurād ‘ticks’ which would follow and consume what the locusts left behind; and the frogs such that they infested their houses and food supplies; and the blood flowing in their water distinct clear signs but they were too scornful to believe in them and were a sinful folk.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(So We sent them) Allah inflicted upon them (the flood) continuous, uninterrupted rain: day and night, from Saturday to Saturday (and the locusts) He sent on the locust which ate everything that the earth produced: vegetation and fruits (and the vermin) and He also inflicted them with the vermin-crawling creatures without wings-which devoured whatever the locusts left uneaten (and the frogs) and after this He set on them frogs so much so that they harmed them (and the blood) after which He inflicted on them blood such that their wells and rivers filled with blood (a succession of clear signs) of one month interval. (But they were arrogant) and refused to believe (and became guilty) idolaters.
