Exodus 32:7-10

English Standard Version

⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have ^(B)corrupted themselves. ⁸ They have turned aside quickly out of the way that ^(C)I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’” ⁹ And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, ^(D)it is a stiff-necked people. ¹⁰ Now therefore ^(E)let me alone, that ^(F)my wrath may burn hot against them and ^(G)I may consume them, in order that ^(H)I may make a great nation of you.”
