Exodus 10:3

And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

Ver 3. How long wilt thou refuse?] God thinks long of the time that men misspend and waste in wicked courses. Jeremiah 4:14 ; Jer 13:27 It is a savoury saying of Bernard, Totum vitae meae tempus perdidi, quia perdite vixi: the time of my looseness I have utterly lost.
