14. And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land was corrupted.
15. But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart and did not hearken unto them as the Lord had said.
16. Then the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land, that it may become 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 it became lice in man and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18. And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man and upon beast.
19. Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart hardened, and he did not hearken unto them as the Lord had said.
20. And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he goes forth to the water and say unto him, The Lord hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.
21. For if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee and upon thy slaves and upon thy people and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of all kinds of flies and also the ground upon which they are.
