Exodus 8:18-19
The magicians tried by their secret arts to
produce gnats, but they could not. So there were gnats on man and beast. 19
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
Jannes and Jambres finally met their match.
Pharaoh, however, had not yet met his. Pharaoh liked that the magicians were
able to match what they saw Moses doing, but that wasn't his confidence.
Otherwise, he'd stood in awe and confessed along with his magi,
"God is at work here!" Instead, he revealed here that the reason he for his hold out was not based on counterfeit miracles, but on genuine
hubris.
