Deuteronomy 9:15-25

15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire; and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights as at the first; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD to provoke Him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron so as to have destroyed him, and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire and stamped it and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 "And at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibrothhattaavah ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, `Go up and possess the land which I have given you,' then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed Him not nor hearkened to His voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 "Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
