For the Scripture said to Pharaoh, 17 "It is for this very purpose that I have lifted you so high--that I may make manifest in you My power, and that My name may be proclaimed far and wide in all the earth." 18 This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.
