¹¹ The magicians^(A) could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians.

² The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land,^(A) and ugly, festering sores^(B) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.^(C)

⁸ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,^(A) so also these teachers oppose^(B) the truth. They are men of depraved minds,^(C) who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. ⁹ But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men,^(D) their folly will be clear to everyone.

¹⁸ But when the magicians^(A) tried to produce gnats by their secret arts,^(B) they could not.

Since the gnats were on people and animals everywhere, ¹⁹ the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger^(C) of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart^(D) was hard and he would not listen,^(E) just as the Lord had said.

¹¹ Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers,^(A) and the Egyptian magicians^(B) also did the same things by their secret arts:^{(C) 12} Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.
