⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have ^(B)corrupted themselves.

¹¹ But ^(A)Moses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

¹² Then the Lord said to me, ^(A)‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have ^(B)turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.’

¹⁹ But ^(A)whenever the judge died, they turned back and were more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them. They did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways.

²⁴ And the Lord said to him, “Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people ^(A)break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them.”

¹¹ Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. ¹² And God ^(A)saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, ^(B)for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
