^{7 Ref} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

^{8 Ref} they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

^{9 Ref} And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

^{10 Ref} now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
