Exodus 8:6-19

New King James Version

⁶So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and ^(A)the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. ⁷^(B)And the magicians did so with their ^[a]enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

⁸Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ^(C)“Entreat^[b] the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people ^(D)go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”

⁹And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.”

¹⁰So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that ^(E)there is no one like the Lord our God. ¹¹And the frogs shall depart from you, from your houses, from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”

¹²Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses ^(F)cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh. ¹³So the Lord did according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields. ¹⁴They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. ¹⁵But when Pharaoh saw that there was ^(G)relief, ^(H)he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the Lord had said.

The Third Plague: Lice

¹⁶So the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become ^[c]lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’ ” ¹⁷And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and ^(I)it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

¹⁸Now ^(J)the magicians so worked with their ^[d]enchantments to bring forth lice, but they ^(K)could not. So there were lice on man and beast. ¹⁹Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is ^(L)the^[e] finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s ^(M)heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.
