7Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
10Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
— Exodus 32:7-10
