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.
