Deuteronomy 9:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “Therefore, 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 for forty days and forty nights, as before. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sins which you had committed, doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to wrath.

¹⁹ “For I was afraid of the wrath and indignation with which the LORD was moved against you, to destroy you. Yet, the LORD also heard me at that time.
