“No attempt should be made to "reconcile" Yahweh's hardening of Pharaoh's heart (plagues 6,8,9,10) with statements in the other plagues that Pharaoh hardened his own heart.The tension cannot be resolved in a facile manner by suggesting, for example, that Pharaoh has already demonstrated his recalcitrance, so Yahweh merely helps the process along, or that he is doing what Pharaoh would have done on his own anyway. Rather, 9:12 is a striking reminder of what God has been trying to teach Moses and Israel since the beginning of the Exodus episode: He is in complete control. However Pharaoh might have reacted is given the chance is not brought into the discussion. He is not even given that chance. Yahweh hardens his heart. It is best to allow the tension of the text to remain.”
Peter Enns“Charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it.”
George Sand“I lock all my scaredness down in my stomach until the fear hardens into something I hardly notice. I myself harden into a person that I hardly notice.”
Mary Karr, The Liars' Club“The sun which warms the plant can under other conditions also wither it. The rain which nourishes the flower can under other conditions rot it. The same sun shines upon mud that shines upon wax. It hardens the mud but softens the wax. The difference is not in the sun, but in that upon which it shines. The Divine Life which shines upon a soul that loves Him, softens it into everlasting life; that same Divine Life which shines upon the slothful soul, neglectful of God, hardens it into everlasting death.”
Fulton J. Sheen, The Seven Capital Sins“Remembering is not enough, if it simply hardens hate. Sometimes the hating has to stop.”
Eric Lomax, The Railway Man“Confederation is only yet in the gristle and it will require five years more before it hardens into bone.”
John A. Macdonald“True gospel preaching always changes the heart. It either awakens it or hardens it.”
Chan Kilgore“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”
Charles Dickens
