Exodus 33:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Go up to a ·fertile land [^Lland flowing with milk and honey; 3:8]. But I will not go with you, because I might ·destroy [consume] you on the way, since you are such a ·stubborn people [stiff-necked people].”

⁴ When the people heard this bad news, they ·became very sad [mourned], and none of them put on ·jewelry [ornaments; or festive dress]. ⁵ This was because the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel], ‘You are a ·stubborn [^Lstiff-necked] people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I would destroy you. So take off all your ·jewelry [ornaments; or festive dress], and I will decide what to do with you.’”
