Exodus 34:8-14

New International Version

⁸ Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. ⁹ “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor^(A) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.^(B) Although this is a stiff-necked^(C) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,^(D) and take us as your inheritance.”^(E)

¹⁰ Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant^(F) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders^(G) never before done in any nation in all the world.^(H) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. ¹¹ Obey what I command^(I) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.^{(J) 12} Be careful not to make a treaty^(K) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare^(L) among you. ¹³ Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.^{[a](M) 14} Do not worship any other god,^(N) for the Lord, whose name^(O) is Jealous, is a jealous God.^(P)
