⁸ Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!

⁸ They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'"

⁹ Yahweh said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and, behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

¹⁰ Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation."

¹⁶ The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image.

²⁰ Thus they exchanged their glory For an image of a bull that eats grass.

²¹ They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,

²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.
