Deuteronomy 9:12-16 - WEB
12
Yahweh said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13
Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people:
14
let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
15
So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16
I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
