Deuteronomy 9:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ “So I turned and went down from the mountain, while the mountain was ablaze; the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.^{(A) 16} Then I saw that you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God, by casting for yourselves an image;^[a] you had been quick to turn from the way that the Lord had commanded you.^{(B) 17} So I took hold of the two tablets and flung them from my two hands, smashing them before your eyes.
