13Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

14let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

15So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

16And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God; ye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.

17And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

19For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also.
