Moses Pleads for the People

^11 (A)And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people be disrespectful to Me? And how long will ^(B)they not ^[a]believe in Me, despite all the signs that I have performed in their midst? ¹² I will strike them with ^[b](C)plague and dispossess them, and I ^(D)will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they.”

²² Certainly ^(A)all the people who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet ^(B)have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice,

⁸ But they ^(A)rebelled against Me and were not willing to listen to Me; they did not throw away, each of them, the detestable things of their eyes, nor did they abandon the ^(B)idols of Egypt.

“Then I ^[a]resolved to ^(C)pour out My wrath on them, to ^[b]use up My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
