Deuteronomy 9:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ I lifted the tablets high above my head and dashed them to the ground! I smashed them before your eyes! ¹⁸ Then, for another forty days and nights I lay before the Lord, neither eating bread nor drinking water, for you had done what the Lord hated most, thus provoking him to great anger. ¹⁹ How I feared for you—for the Lord was ready to destroy you. But that time, too, he listened to me.
