Deuteronomy 9:12-14

New Century Version

¹² Then the Lord told me, “Get up and go down quickly from here, because the people you brought out from Egypt are ruining themselves. They have quickly turned away from what I commanded and have made an idol for themselves.”

¹³ The Lord said to me, “I have watched these people, and they are very stubborn! ¹⁴ Get away so that I may destroy them and make the whole world forget who they are. Then I will make another nation from you that will be bigger and stronger than they are.”
