SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:34
Y viendo el Faraón que la lluvia había cesado y el granizo y los truenos, perseveró en pecar, y agravó su corazón, él y sus siervos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 9:34
Verse 34. He sinned yet more, and hardened his heart] These were merely acts of his own; "for who can deny," says Mr. Psalmanazar, "that what God did on Pharaoh was much more proper to soften than to harden his heart; especially when it is observable that it was not till after seeing each miracle, and after the ceasing of each plague, that his heart is said to have been hardened? The verbs here used are in the conjugations pihel and hiphil, and often signify a bare permission, from which it is plain that the words should have been read, God suffered the heart of Pharaoh to be hardened."-Universal Hist., vol. i., p. 494. Note D.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-35 - Woful havoc this hail made: it killed both men and cattle; the cor above ground was destroyed, and that only preserved which as yet wa not come up. The land of Goshen was preserved. God causes rain or hai on one city and not on another, either in mercy or in judgment. Pharao humbled himself to Moses. No man could have spoken better: he own himself wrong; he owns that the Lord is righteous; and God must be justified when he speaks, though he speaks in thunder and lightning Yet his heart was hardened all this while. Moses pleads with God though he had reason to think Pharaoh would repent of his repentance and he told him so, yet he promises to be his friend. Moses went out of the city, notwithstanding the hail and lightning which kept Pharaoh an his servants within doors. Peace with God makes men thunder-proof Pharaoh was frightened by the tremendous judgment; but when that wa over, his fair promises were forgotten. Those that are not bettered by judgments and mercies, commonly become worse __________________________________________________________________
