And when I looked and saw that ye had sinned against the LORD your God and had made you a calf of metal and had turned at once out of the way which the LORD had commanded you; Then I took the two tables and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made and burnt him with fire and stamped him and ground him a-good, even unto small dust. And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. Also at Taberah and at Massah and at the sepulchres of lust ye angered the LORD. Yea, and when the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, 'Go up and conquer the land which I have given you,' ye disobeyed the mouth of the LORD your God, and neither believed him nor hearkened unto his voice.

And yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear unto this day.
For I know thy stubbornness and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been disobedient unto the LORD: and how much more after my death. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I am sure that after my death, they will utterly mar themselves and turn from the way which I commanded you, and tribulation will come upon you in the latter days, when ye have wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD to provoke him with the works of your hands."
