And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ 24 (D)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but (E)followed[a] the counsels and the [b]dictates of their evil hearts, and (F)went[c] backward and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even (G)sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. 26 (H)Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but (I)stiffened their neck.

Also (C)in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry enough with you to have destroyed you.

I neither ate bread nor drank water. 10 (F)Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire (G)in[a] the day of the assembly. 11 And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
