Deuteronomy 9:16-24
16And I sawH7200 howH2009 you had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430; you had madeH6213 for yourselves a moltenH4541 calfH5695. You had turned asideH5493 quicklyH4118 fromH4480 the wayH1870 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had commanded youH6680. 17So I tookH8610 the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 and threw themH7993 out ofH5921H8147 my handsH3027, shattering themH7665 before your eyesH5869.
18Then I fell downH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 for fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, as I had done the first timeH7223. I did notH3808 eatH398 breadH3899 or drinkH8354 waterH4325H3808 because ofH5921 allH3605 the sinH2403 you had committedH2398 in doingH6213 what was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 and provoking Him to angerH3707. 19ForH3588 I was afraidH3025H64401 of the angerH639 and wrathH2534 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had directedH7107 against youH5921, enough to destroy youH8045. But the LORDH3068 listenedH8085 to meH413 thisH1931 timeH6471 as wellH1571.
20The LORDH3068 was angryH599 enoughH3966 with AaronH175 to destroy himH8045, but at thatH1931 timeH6256 I alsoH1571 prayedH6419 forH1157 AaronH175. 21AndH853 I tookH3947 thatH834 sinful thingH2403, the calfH5695 you had madeH6213, and burnedH8313 itH853 in the fireH784. Then I crushed itH3807 and groundH2912 it toH5704 powderH1854 as fine as dustH6083, and I castH7993 itH6083 intoH413 the streamH5158 that came downH3381 fromH4480 the mountainH2022.
22You continued to provokeH7107H1961 the LORDH3068 at TaberahH8404,2 at MassahH4532,3 and at Kibroth-hattaavahH6914.4 23And when the LORDH3068 sent you outH7971H6947 from Kadesh-barneaH6947, He saidH559, “Go upH5927 and possessH3423 the landH776 thatH834 I have givenH5414 you.”
But you rebelledH4784 against the commandH6310 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430. You neitherH3808 believedH539 Him norH3808 obeyedH8085 HimH6963. 24You have beenH1961 rebellingH4784 againstH5973 the LORDH3068 since the dayH3117 I came to know youH3045.
