Deuteronomy 9:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ I looked, and indeed, you had sinned against the Lord your God and had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned aside out of the way which the Lord had commanded you. ¹⁷ I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes.

¹⁸ I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all your sins which you committed, doing what was wicked in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger.
