day no. 14,327: take that!

Exodus 7:22
But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.

God is making a mockery of Pharaoh and his magicians by convincing them to curse themselves in order to stick it to Moses. Why didn't Pharaoh's magicians turn the blood back into water? Wouldn't that have been more impressive? If Moses kicks you in the groin and the way you get back at him is to kick yourself in the groin, you aren't getting it – and your groin really hurts! No wonder Paul had this to say about these magicians' "success" in fighting against Moses and Aaron.

2 Timothy 3:9b
…just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone
