7 And the Lord said unto Moses, iGo, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, jhave corrupted themselves: 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which kI commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, lThese be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, mI have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 Now therefore nlet me alone, that omy wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and pI will make of thee a great nation. 11 qAnd Moses besought †the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 rWherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and srepent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou tswarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, uI will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And the Lord wrepented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
