Exodus 9:32
30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
31 (Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
33 Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
