Deuteronomy 9:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

²⁰ And he was exceeding angry against Aaron also, and would have destroyed him, and I prayed in like manner for him.
