12. And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13. Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14. Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15. So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16. And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17. And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
