Exodus 32:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I commanded them; they have cast for themselves an image of a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’ ”^{(A) 9} The Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, how stiff-necked they are.^{(B) 10} Now let me alone so that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, and of you I will make a great nation.”^(C)
