Exodus 9:14

All my plagues] Pharaoh must not think that God has exhausted His means. There are others which will prove sufficient for His purpose.

15, 16. Better with RV, 'For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee.. and thou hadst been cut off.. but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand' (i.e. have preserved thee alive), 'for to shew thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.' God might have delivered His people by summarily destroying Pharaoh and all his subjects, but He has restrained the full extent of His vengeance for His greater glory: cp. Romans 9:22; Isaiah 48:9.
