MKJV(i)
12 And Jehovah said to me, Arise! Get down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made them a molten image.
13 And Jehovah spoke to me saying: I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
14 Let Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under the heavens. And I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire. And the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and behold! You had sinned against Jehovah your God, and had made you a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands and broke them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sins which you sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of Jehovah to provoke Him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and fury with which Jehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Jehovah listened to me at that time also.
20 And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as small as dust. And I threw the dust of it into the torrent that descended out of the mountain.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at the Graves of Lust, you provoked Jehovah to anger.
23 And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying: Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then you rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and you did not believe Him, nor listened to His voice.
24 You have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
