Deuteronomy 9:25-29

The Golden Calf

²⁵ _x "So I lay prostrate before the Lord for these forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had said he would destroy you. ²⁶ _i And I prayed to the Lord, 'O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. ²⁷ Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin, ²⁸ lest the land from which you brought us say, _j "Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness." ²⁹ _k For they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.'
