Exodus 33:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise, I might destroy you on the way.”^{(A) 4} When the people heard this bad news, they mourned and didn’t put on their jewelry.^(B)

⁵ For the Lord said to Moses: “Tell the Israelites: You are a stiff-necked people. If I went with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.”
