Deuteronomy 9:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ When I looked, I saw that you had made an image of a calf as your idol. You really had done a very bad thing. You had quickly stopped doing the things that the Lord your God had commanded you to do. ¹⁷ When I saw that, I threw the two flat stones down onto the ground. I broke them into pieces while you watched.

¹⁸ Then I again fell down with my face on the ground, to pray to the Lord. I did that for 40 days and nights. I did not eat or drink anything. You had done an evil thing which caused the Lord to be very angry.
