¹¹ Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray^(A) for the well-being of this people.

¹⁶ “So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea^(A) or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen^(B) to you.

¹⁴ “Do not pray^(A) for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen^(B) when they call to me in the time of their distress.

³² But now, please forgive their sin^(A)—but if not, then blot me^(B) out of the book^(C) you have written.”

³³ The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out^(D) of my book. ³⁴ Now go, lead^(E) the people to the place^(F) I spoke of, and my angel^(G) will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish,^(H) I will punish them for their sin.”

15 Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses^(A) and Samuel^(B) were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people.^(C) Send them away from my presence!^(D) Let them go!

¹⁰ Now leave me alone^(A) so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy^(B) them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”^(C)
