Exodus 8:16-19
1599 Geneva Bible
16 ¶ Again the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may be turned to [a]lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth: and lice came upon man and upon beast: all the dust of the earth was lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Now the enchanters assayed likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they [b]could not. So the lice were upon man and upon beast.
19 Then said the enchanters unto Pharaoh, This is [c]the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart remained obstinate, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had said.
