14. Get away so that I may destroy them and make the whole world forget who they are. Then I will make another nation from you that will be bigger and stronger than they are.”
15. So I turned and came down the mountain that was burning with fire, and the two stone tablets with the Agreement were in my hands.
16. When I looked, I saw you had sinned against the Lord your God and had made an idol in the shape of a calf. You had quickly turned away from what the Lord had told you to do.
17. So I took the two stone tablets and threw them down, breaking them into pieces right in front of you.
18. Then I again bowed facedown on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I did not eat bread or drink water. You had sinned by doing what the Lord said was evil, and you made him angry.
19. I was afraid of the Lord’s anger and rage, because he was angry enough with you to destroy you, but the Lord listened to me again.
