Deuteronomy 9:13-15

New Century Version

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.”

¹⁵ So I turned and came down the mountain that was burning with fire, and the two stone tablets with the Agreement were in my hands.
