       The sores were indeed painful, and surely they get more painful as time goes on. And the also have burns. And not only that, but the people now have to face their pain in darkness, which just adds to their misery. Really, this scene I think foreshadows for us a view of what Hell will be like for the unbeliever. In Hell, a person will certainly have pains, and I am sure sores and burns will be included in that, and they will be in darkness. They definitely will be biting their tongues there. The people are said to still be cursing God for their pain, which again shows the seriousness of the effect of the darkness as well as the cumulative effect of the plagues. And, unfortunately, they still don’t repent even under these circumstances. And, as we are going to see, this is God’s last time for giving anyone a chance to repent. For the final two plagues, no such mention of a chance of repentance exists.
