Deuteronomy 9:24-26

Darby Translation

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.

²⁵ So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you.

²⁶ I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
