Deuteronomy 9:11-14

11And at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

12Then the Lord said to me, 'Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.'

13"Furthermore, the Lord said to me, 'I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people.

14Let me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. And I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
