Exodus

Exodus 9:13–16

¹³Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me. ¹⁴Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you^c and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

¹⁵For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth. ¹⁶But I have raised you up^d for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you,^e and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.^f
