Exodus 34:4-14

New International Version

⁴ So Moses chiseled^(A) out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.^{(B) 5} Then the Lord came down in the cloud^(C) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.^{(D) 6} And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate^(E) and gracious God, slow to anger,^(F) abounding in love^(G) and faithfulness,^{(H) 7} maintaining love to thousands,^(I) and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.^(J) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;^(K) he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”^(L)

⁸ Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. ⁹ “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor^(M) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.^(N) Although this is a stiff-necked^(O) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,^(P) and take us as your inheritance.”^(Q)

¹⁰ Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant^(R) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders^(S) never before done in any nation in all the world.^(T) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. ¹¹ Obey what I command^(U) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.^{(V) 12} Be careful not to make a treaty^(W) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare^(X) among you. ¹³ Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.^{[a](Y) 14} Do not worship any other god,^(Z) for the Lord, whose name^(AA) is Jealous, is a jealous God.^(AB)
