4 When the people heard this painful news, they mourned, and no one wore any ornaments. 5 The LORD spoke to Moses: Speak to the Israelites: You are a stiff-necked people. Were I to go up in your company even for a moment, I would destroy you. Now off with your ornaments! Let me think what to do with you. 6 So, from Mount Horeb onward, the Israelites stripped off their ornaments. Exodus 33:4-6, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
