This is the finger of God— The finger of A God, as some would have it. This is the immediate power and work of God. See Luke 11:20 compared with Matthew 12:28. 1 Samuel 6:9. Psalms 109:27.
REFLECTIONS.— The vilest and most despicable of the creatures, when sent from God, are sufficient to plague the proudest. The frogs are gone, and Pharaoh at ease. But now without warning,
1. The lice come upon him: nor man nor beast is free from these loathsome intruders. They who will not repent of their sins shall be plagued for them.
2. The magicians are baffled in their attempts. The devil can go no farther than his chain. They are made to own the finger of God. Thus the most inveterate of God's enemies have oft-times bore testimony to his glory.
3. Pharaoh's determined hardness of heart. When God gives a man up to a reprobate mind, nothing can save him.
