15So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
16And I saw how you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
17So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, shattering them before your eyes.
— Deuteronomy 9:15-17
