Deuteronomy 9:12-14

New American Standard Bible

^12 (A)Then the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, go down from here quickly, because your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have behaved corruptly. They have ^(B)quickly turned aside from the way that I commanded them; they have made a cast metal image for themselves.’ ¹³ The ^(C)Lord also said to ^[a]me, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed, it is a ^[b](D)stubborn people. ^14 (E)Leave Me alone, that I may destroy them and ^(F)wipe out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’
