Exodus 7:3

3 But I will harden his heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, ^{▼▼7:3 I shall harden, etc: not by being the efficient cause of his hardness of heart, but by permitting it; and by withdrawing grace from him, in punishment of his malice; which alone was the proper cause of his being hardened.(Challoner)}
