They were scorched by the terrible heat
This can be stated in active form. AT: "The extreme heat burned them badly" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

Here the name of God represents God. AT: "they blasphemed God" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
God, who has the power over these plagues
