Deuteronomy 9:7-24

7RememberH2142, do not forgetH7911 howH854H834 you provokedH7107 the LordH3068 your GodH430 toH7107 angerH7107 in the wildernessH4057; 1from the dayH3117 that you leftH3318 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 you arrivedH935 at thisH2088 placeH4725, you have beenH1961 rebelliousH4784 againstH5973 the LordH3068. 8Even 2at HorebH2722 you provokedH7107 the LordH3068 toH7107 angerH7107, and the LordH3068 was so angryH599 with you that He would have destroyedH8045 you. 9When I wentH5927 upH5927 to the mountainH2022 to receiveH3947 the tabletsH3871 of stoneH68, the tabletsH3871 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 the LordH3068 madeH3772 with you, then I remainedH3427 on the mountainH2022 for fortyH705 daysH3117 and nightsH3915; 3I neitherH3808 ateH398 breadH3899 norH3808 drankH8354 waterH4325. 10The LordH3068 gaveH5414 me the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stoneH68 4writtenH3789 by the fingerH676 of GodH430; and on them were allH3605 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 with you at the mountainH2022 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784 on the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951. 11It cameH1961 aboutH1961 5at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117 and nightsH3915 that the LordH3068 gaveH5414 me the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stoneH68, the tabletsH3871 of the covenantH1285. 126Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘AriseH6965, goH3381 downH3381 from hereH2088 quicklyH4118, becauseH3588 your peopleH5971, whomH834 you broughtH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, have behavedH7843 corruptlyH7843. They have 7quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 thatH834 I commandedH6680 them; they have madeH6213 a castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541 for themselves.’ 13The 8LordH3068 also saidH559 to 9me, ‘I have seenH7200 thisH2088 peopleH5971, and indeedH2009, it is a 1011stubbornH7186H6203 peopleH5971. 1412LeaveH7503 Me aloneH4480H7503, that I may destroyH8045 them and 13wipeH4229 outH4229 their nameH8034 from underH8478 heavenH8064; and I will makeH6213 of you a nationH1471 mightierH6099 and greaterH7227 thanH4480 they.’

15“14So I turnedH6437 and cameH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022 while the mountainH2022 was burningH1197 with fireH784, and the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of the covenantH1285 were in my twoH8147 handsH3027. 16And I sawH7200 that you had indeedH2009 sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 your GodH430. You had madeH6213 for yourselves a castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541 of a calfH5695; you had quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 you. 17So I tookH8610 holdH8610 of the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 and threwH7993 them from my twoH8147 handsH3027, and smashedH7665 them toH7665 piecesH7665 before your eyesH5869! 1815Then I fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 16like the firstH7223 time, for fortyH705 daysH3117 and nightsH3915; 17I neitherH3808 ateH398 breadH3899 norH3808 drankH8354 waterH4325, 18becauseH5921 of allH3605 your sinH2403 whichH834 you had committedH2398 by doingH6213 whatH7451 wasH7451 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, to provokeH3707 Him toH3707 angerH3707. 19For 19I was afraidH3025 of the angerH639 and the rageH2534 with whichH834 the LordH3068 wasH7107 angryH7107 with you so as to destroyH8045 you; 20but the LordH3068 listenedH8085 to me that timeH6471 asH1571 wellH1571. 20The LordH3068 was also angryH599 enoughH3966 with AaronH175 to destroyH8045 him; so I alsoH1571 prayedH6419 for AaronH175 at the sameH1931 timeH6256. 2121And I tookH3947 your 22sinfulH2403 thing whichH834 you had madeH6213, the calfH5695, and burnedH8313 it in the fireH784 and crushedH3807 it, grindingH2912 it thoroughlyH3190 untilH5704H834 it was as fineH1854 as dustH6083; and I threwH7993 its dustH6083 into the streamH5158 that cameH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022.

22“Then at 23TaberahH8404, at 24MassahH4532, and at 25Kibroth-hattaavahH6914 you kept provokingH7107 the LordH3068 toH7107 angerH7107. 23And when the LordH3068 sentH7971 you from 26Kadesh-barneaH6947, sayingH559, ‘27GoH5927 upH5927 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 whichH834 I have givenH5414 you,’ you rebelledH4784 againstH854 the 28commandH6310 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; 29you neitherH3808 trustedH539 Him norH3808 listenedH8085 to His voiceH6963. 2430You have beenH1961 rebelliousH4784 towardH5973 the LordH3068 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 I knewH3045 you.
