Exodus 32:7-10 ▼

7 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go! Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.

8 They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have made for themselves a molten calf and have worshiped it and have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!’”

9 And Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

10 Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may consume them; and I will make you a great nation.”
