Deuteronomy 9:12-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. Then the Lord told me, “Get up. Go down quickly from here. The people you brought out from Egypt are ruining themselves. They have quickly turned away from what I commanded. They have made an idol for themselves.”

13. The Lord said to me, “I have watched these people. They are very stubborn!

14. Get away. I will destroy them. I will make the whole world forget who they are. Then I will make another nation from you. It will be bigger and stronger than they are.”

15. So I turned and came down the mountain. The mountain was burning with fire. And the two stone tablets with the agreement were in my hands.

16. When I looked, I saw you had sinned against the Lord your God. You had made an idol in the shape of a calf. You had quickly turned away from what the Lord had told you to do.
