The Golden Calf

^13 (A)“Furthermore, the Lord said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is ^(B)a stubborn people. ^14 (C)Let me alone, that I may destroy them and ^(D)blot out their name from under heaven. And ^(E)I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’

^26 (A)And I prayed to the Lord, ‘O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
