Isa. 19. 14. The Lord hath mingled among them the spirit of errors: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof. Exod. 4. and 9. and 11. and 14. God doth harden the heart of Pharaoh. ⟨p. 58⟩Deut. 2. 30. The Lord thy God hath hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because he would deliver him into thine hand, as appeareth this day. Josh. 11. 20. It came of the Lord, that their heart was hardened, that they might come against Israel in battle, to the intent that they should destroy them utterly, and show them no mercy, but bring them to nought. 1. Sam. 2. 25. They hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord meant to destroy them.
