* Hear , O Israel : Thou are to pass over the Jordan this day , to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself , cities great and fortified up to heaven , * a people great and tall , the sons of the Anakim , whom thou know , and of whom thou have heard say , Who can stand before the sons of Anak ? * Know therefore this day , that LORD thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire . He will destroy them , and he will bring them down before thee . So thou shall drive them out , and make them to perish quickly , as LORD h * Do not speak thou in thy heart , after LORD thy God has thrust them out from before thee , saying , For my righteousness LORD has brought me in to possess this land . Whereas for the wickedness of these nations LORD drives them out fro * Not for thy righteousness , or for the uprightness of thy heart , do thou go in to possess their land , but for the wickedness of these nations LORD thy God drives them out from before thee , and that he may establish the word which LO * Know therefore , that LORD thy God does not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness , for thou are a stiff-necked people . * Remember , do not thou forget how thou provoked LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness . From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt , until ye came to this place , ye have been rebellious against LORD . * Also in Horeb ye provoked LORD to wrath , and LORD was angry with you to destroy you . * When I was gone up onto the mount to receive the tablets of stone , even the tablets of the covenant which LORD made with you , then I abode on the mount forty days and forty nights . I neither ate bread nor drank water . * And LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God . And on them [was ] according to all the words , which LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly . * And it came to pass , at the end of forty days and forty nights , that LORD gave me the two tablets of stone , even the tablets of the covenant . * And LORD said to me , Arise , get thee down quickly from here , for thy people that thou have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves . They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them . They have made t * Furthermore LORD spoke to me , saying , I have seen this people , and , behold , it is a stiff-necked people . * Let me alone , that I may destroy them , and blot out their name from under heaven , and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they . * So I turned and came down from the mount , and the mount was burning with fire . And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands . * And I looked , and , behold , ye had sinned against LORD your God . Ye had made you a molten calf . Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which LORD had commanded you . * And I took hold of the two tablets , and cast them out of my two hands , and broke them before your eyes . * And I fell down before LORD , as at the first , forty days and forty nights . I neither ate bread nor drank water , because of all your sin which ye sinned , in doing that which was evil in the sight of LORD , to provoke him to anger . * For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which LORD was angry against you to destroy you . But LORD hearkened to me that time also . * And LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him . And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time . * And I took your sin , the calf which ye had made , and burnt it with fire , and stamped it , grinding it very small , until it was as fine as dust . And I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mount . * And at Taberah , and at Massah , and at Kibroth-hattaavah , ye provoked LORD to wrath . * And when LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea , saying , Go up and possess the land which I have given you , then ye rebelled against the commandment of LORD your God , and ye did not believe him , nor hearken to his voice . * Ye have been rebellious against LORD from the day that I knew you . * So I fell down before LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down , because LORD had said he would destroy you . * And I prayed to LORD , and said , O lord LORD , destroy not thy people and thine inheritance , that thou have redeemed through thy greatness , that thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand . * Remember thy servants , Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob . Look not to the stubbornness of this people , nor to their profaneness , nor to their sin , * lest the land from where thou brought us out say , Because LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them , and because he hated them , he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness . * Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance , which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm .
