12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from here, for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molten image.
13 Furthermore, the Lord spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
14 Let me alone that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount with the two tables of the covenant in my two hands and the mount burned with fire,
16 and I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God and had made yourselves a molten calf; ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17 Then I took the two tables and cast them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water because of all your sins in which ye sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
