So Moses went back to the Lord and said,“ Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.

So Moses returned to the Lord and said,“ Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold.

So Moses returned to the Lord and said,“ Oh, what a terrible sin these people have committed. They have made gods of gold for themselves.

So Moses returned to the LORD and said,“ Oh, these people have committed a grave sin; they have made a god of gold for themselves.

Then Moses returned to the Lord and said,“ Oh, this people has committed a great sin, and they have made a god of gold for themselves!

Then Moses returned to the Lord and said,“ Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold!

And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

So Moses returned to the Lord and said,“ Oh, these people have committed a grave sin; they have made a god of gold for themselves.

And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

So Moses returned to the LORD and said,“ Alas, this people has committed a very serious sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold.

Moses returned to Yahweh, and said,“ Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.

Do not put any other gods in place of me. Do not make silver or gold statues of them for yourselves.

The next day Moses said to the people,“ You have committed a terrible sin. But now I will go up to the Lord. Maybe if I pray to him, he will forgive your sin.”

Then once again I fell down flat in front of the Lord with my face toward the ground. I lay there for 40 days and 40 nights. I didn’t eat any food or drink any water. You had committed a terrible sin. You had done an evil thing in the Lord’ s sight. You had made him angry.I was afraid of the Lord’ s great anger. He was so angry with you he wanted to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me again.

“ Do not make for yourself statues of gods that look like anything in the sky. They may not look like anything on the earth or in the waters either.

I prayed,“ I’m filled with shame and dishonor, my God. I can hardly look to you and pray. That’s because our sins are piled up above our heads. Our guilt reaches all the way to the heavens.We are filled with it. It has been like that ever since the days of our people who lived long ago. Kings of other countries have killed many of us and our kings and priests with their swords. They’ve forced others to leave their own land. They’ve taken them away as prisoners. They’ve robbed others. They’ve made still others feel ashamed and dishonored. All these things have happened to us because we’ve committed so many sins. And that’s how things still are to this day.

Lord, we are covered with shame. So are our kings and princes, and our people of long ago. We have sinned against you.

Lord, you are the God of Israel. You are holy. You always do what is right. Today you have left many of your people alive. Here we are with all our guilt. You see the guilt of our sin. Because we have sinned, not one of us can stand in front of you.”

Moses was there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights. He didn’t eat any food or drink any water. The Lord wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant law. Those words are the Ten Commandments.

We have sinned and done what is wrong. We have been evil. We have refused to obey you. We have turned away from your commands and laws.

All the people of Israel have broken your law and turned away from it. They have refused to obey you.“ Curses and warnings are written down in the Law of Moses. He was your servant. Those curses have been poured out on us. That’s because we have sinned against you.

In spite of everything that has happened to us, you have been fair. You have been faithful in what you have done. But we did what was evil.
