SCRIPTURE

"As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?" — Exodus 9:17 (ASV)

As yet do you exalt yourself against my people, that you will
not let them go ?
And so against God himself, disobeying his commands, despising his messengers, and slighting his miracles, and hardening his heart against him, and refusing to let Israel go, after all;

thereby showing the most intolerable pride and insolence not only against the Lord's poor people, but against himself, for what is done to them he takes as done to himself; or "do you still tread upon my people?"
