12 He told me, |Leave right away. Your people whom you brought out of Egypt have ruined [everything]. They've quickly turned from the way I commanded them to live. They've made an idol for themselves.| 13 The LORD also said to me, |I've seen these people, and they are impossible to deal with. 14 Leave me alone! I'll destroy them and wipe their name off the earth. Then I'll make you into a nation larger and stronger than they are.| 15 So I turned and went down the mountain while it was still burning with fire. I was carrying the two tablets with the promise on them. 16 Then I saw that you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made a statue of a calf for yourselves. You had quickly turned from the way the LORD commanded you to live. Deuteronomy 9:12-16, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
