Deuteronomy 9:24-26

21st Century King James Version

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

²⁵ “Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first, because the Lord had said He would destroy you.

²⁶ I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said: ‘O Lord God, destroy not Thy people and Thine inheritance whom Thou hast redeemed through Thy greatness, whom Thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
