Deuteronomy 9:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ So I took the two stone tablets and threw them down, breaking them into pieces right in front of you.

¹⁸ Then I again bowed facedown on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I did not eat bread or drink water. You had sinned by doing what the Lord said was evil, and you made him angry. ¹⁹ I was afraid of the Lord’s anger and rage, because he was angry enough with you to destroy you, but the Lord listened to me again.
