7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go (a)down at once, for your people, whom (A)you brought up from the land of Egypt, have (B)corrupted themselves. 8 They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. (C)They have made for themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it and (D)have sacrificed to it and said, ‘(b)(E)This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!’” 9 (F)The Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, they are (c)(G)an obstinate people. 10 Now then (H)let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and (I)I will make of you a great nation.”
