Deuteronomy 9:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ I cast the tables out of my hands, and broke them in your sight.

¹⁸ And I fell down before the Lord as before, forty days and nights neither eating bread, nor drinking water, for all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and had provoked him to wrath:

¹⁹ For I feared his indignation and anger, wherewith being moved against you, he would have destroyed you. And the Lord heard me this time also.
