16 But, in fact, for this cause I have kept you in existence,*+ for the sake of showing you my power and in order to have my name declared in all the earth.*+
17 As for me, here I am letting the hearts of the Egyptians become obstinate,+ that they may go in after them and that I may get glory for myself by means of Pharʹaoh and all his military forces, his war chariots and his cavalrymen.+
17 For the Scripture says to Pharʹaoh: “For this very cause I have let you remain,* that in connection with you I may show my power, and that my name may be declared in all the earth.”+
