Deuteronomy 9:12-21 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

12

Then ADONAI said to me, 'Get up, and hurry down from here, because your people, whom you led out of Egypt, have become corrupt. So quickly have they turned aside from the way I ordered them to follow! They have made themselves a metal image!'

13

Moreover, ADONAI said to me, 'I have seen this people, and what a stiffnecked people they are!

14

Let me alone, so that I can put an end to them and blot out their name from under heaven! I will make out of you a nation bigger and stronger than they.'

15

I came down from the mountain. The mountain was blazing fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

16

I looked, and there, you had sinned against ADONAI your God! You had made yourselves a metal calf, you had turned aside quickly from the way ADONAI had ordered you to follow.

17

I seized the two tablets, threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes.

18

Then I fell down before ADONAI, as I had the first time, for forty days and nights, during which time I neither ate food nor drank water, all because of the sin you committed by doing what was evil in the sight of ADONAI and thus provoking him.

19

I was terrified that because of how angry ADONAI was at you, of how heatedly displeased he was, that he would destroy you. But ADONAI listened to me that time too.

20

In addition, ADONAI was very angry with Aharon and would have destroyed him; but I prayed for Aharon also at the same time.

21

I took your sin, the calf you had made, and burned it up in the fire, beat it to pieces, and ground it up still smaller, until it was as fine as dust; then I threw its dust into the stream coming down from the mountain.
