Exodus 9:34-35 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart… 1. Sense of judgment and mercy without faith worketh more evil in sinners against God. 2. Mercies may prove occasions of hardening unto wicked souls; but no causes of their sin. 3. Wicked powers by unbelief harden themselves and others (ver. 34). 4. God sets on hardening when sinners choose to be stubborn against God. 5. Breach of promise with God is nothing with sinners. 6. God's foretelling of sinners ways aggravates that sin abundantly (ver. 35). (G. Hughes, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. |
