⁷ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt,^(A) have become corrupt.^(B)

⁸ They have been quick to turn away^(A) from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol^(B) cast in the shape of a calf.^(C) They have bowed down to it and sacrificed^(D) to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’^(E)

²⁹ For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt^(A) and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster^(B) will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.”
