22 And the magicians of Egypt did the same with their enchantments; and Pharaoh’s heart hardened itself, and he did not hearken unto them, as the Lord had said.
23 And Pharaoh turned and returned to his house, and even with all this he did not take this to heart.
24 And in all Egypt they dug wells round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled after the Lord had smitten the river.
