Exodus 32:7-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ The Lord said to Moses, “Go down at once! Your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have acted perversely;^{(A) 8} they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I commanded them; they have cast for themselves an image of a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’ ”^{(B) 9} The Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, how stiff-necked they are.^{(C) 10} Now let me alone so that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, and of you I will make a great nation.”^(D)
