Deuteronomy 9:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ You have been rebels against the Lord ever since I have known you.

²⁵ So I lay facedown before the Lord for forty days and forty nights. I lay facedown because the Lord said he would destroy you. ²⁶ So I prayed to the Lord and said, “Lord God, do not destroy your people, your inheritance that you have redeemed by your greatness, whom you brought out of Egypt with a strong hand.
