Deuteronomy 9:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ And I saw that you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God. You had made for yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. ¹⁷ I took hold of the two tablets and threw them from my hands and smashed them before your eyes. ^18 (A)I fell down before the Lord, ^(B)as at the first, forty days and nights; ^(C)I neither ate bread nor drank water, ^(D)because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger.
