Deuteronomy 9:18-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ I fell down like the first time in the presence of the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I did not eat food or drink water because of all the sin you committed, doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight and angering him. ¹⁹ I was afraid of the fierce anger the Lord had directed against you,^(A) because he was about to destroy you. But again the Lord listened to me on that occasion.^{(B) 20} The Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. But I prayed for Aaron at that time also.
