Exodus 33:3-5

International Standard Version

³ Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey, but I won’t go up among you, because you are an obstinate^[a] people, and otherwise I might consume you along the way.”

⁴ When the people heard this troubling word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments. ⁵ The Lord had told Moses, “Say to the Israelis, ‘You are an obstinate people,^[b] and if for one moment I went up among you, I would put an end to you. Now take off your ornaments so I may decide^[c] what to do with you.’”
