11And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.
12And the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
13And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
14For this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other like me in all the earth.
15For if I had put the full weight of my hand on you and your people, you would have been cut off from the earth:
16But, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.
17Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them go?
