Deuteronomy 9:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ¹⁹ I prayed, because the Lord had said that he would destroy you. He was so angry with you that I was very afraid. But the Lord listened to me this time too.
