Deuteronomy 9:13-19

Deuteronomy 9:13-19

[13] Furthermore the LORD  spake  I have seen  this people,  and, behold, it is a stiffnecked  people:  [14] Let 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  [15] So I turned  and came down  from the mount,  burned  with fire:  and the two  tables  of the covenant  were in my two  hands.  [16] And I looked,  and, behold, ye had sinned  against the LORD  your God,  and had made  you a molten  calf:  ye had turned aside  quickly  out of the way  which the LORD  had commanded  you. [17] And I took  the two  tables,  and cast  them out of  my two  hands,  and brake  them before your eyes.  [18] And I fell down  before  the LORD,  as at the first,  forty  days  and forty  nights:  I did neither eat  bread,  nor drink  water,  because of all your sins  which ye sinned,  in doing  wickedly  in the sight  of the LORD,  to provoke him to anger.  [19] For I was afraid  of  the anger  and hot displeasure,  wherewith the LORD  was wroth  against you to destroy  you. But the LORD  hearkened  unto me at that time
