²⁹ And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.

¹⁵ But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

⁸ Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.

²⁰ For you have been acting with deceit in your hearts; for you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Make prayer for us to the Lord our God, and give us word of everything he may say, and we will do it.

²¹ And this day I have made it clear to you, and you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.

³ Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

³⁴ When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

³⁵ In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

³⁶ But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;

³⁷ And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

³ But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

⁴ While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

⁷ Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.
