Deuteronomy 9:23

²¹And your sin which ye had made, even the calf, I took, and burned it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.

²²Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, ye provoked the Lord.

— Deuteronomy 9:23 —

²⁴Ye were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.

²⁵And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed before, for the Lord said that he would utterly destroy you.
