Then I will make you into a nation stronger and more numerous than they are.' 15 So I turned and went down the mountain while it was ablaze with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands. 16 I saw that you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made a molten calf for yourselves. You had quickly turned aside from the way the LORD had commanded you. 17 So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them down, shattering them before your eyes. 18 Then I fell down before the LORD as I had done before, for forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water because of all the sin you had committed, doing what was evil in the LORD's sight and provoking him to anger. 19 I was afraid of the fierce anger and wrath the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you.
