10. Pharaoh said, "Tomorrow!"Moses said, "Just as you say! That way you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11. The frogs will leave you, your houses, your officials, and your people. They’ll stay only in the Nile."
12. After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the Lord about the frogs that the Lord had brought on Pharaoh.
13. The Lord did as Moses asked. The frogs died inside the houses, out in the yards, and in the fields.
14. They gathered them together in big piles, and the land began to stink.
15. But when Pharaoh saw that the disaster was over, he became stubborn again and wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had said.
16. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your shepherd’s rod and hit the land’s dirt so that lice appear in the whole land of Egypt.’"
17. They did this. Aaron stretched out his hand with his shepherd’s rod, hit the land’s dirt, and lice appeared on both people and animals. All the land’s dirt turned into lice throughout the whole land of Egypt.
18. The religious experts tried to produce lice by their secret knowledge, but they weren’t able to do it. There were lice on people and animals.
19. The religious experts said to Pharaoh, "This is something only God could do!" But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had said.
