for I shall hold forth mine hand, and I shall smite Egypt in all my marvels which I shall do in the midst of them; after these things he shall deliver you.
And the Lord said to him turning again into Egypt, See, that thou do all the wonders, which I have put in thine hand, before Pharaoh; I shall make hard his heart, and he shall not deliver the people;
and he shall not hear you; and I shall send mine hand on Egypt, and I shall lead out mine host, and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by most dooms;
And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned also now; the Lord is just [or rightwise], and I and my people be wicked;
He hath blinded their eyes, and hath made hard the heart of them, that they see not with eyes, and understand [not] with heart; and that they be converted, and I heal them.
For it was the sentence of the Lord, that the hearts of them should be made hard, and that they should fight against Israel, and should fall, and [they] should not deserve any mercy, and should perish, as the Lord commanded, to Moses.
