9:16 When I looked, you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God and had cast for yourselves a metal calf; 1 you had quickly turned aside from the way he 2 had commanded you!
Deuteronomy 9:18
9:18 Then I again fell down before the Lord for forty days and nights; I ate and drank nothing because of all the sin you had committed, doing such evil before the Lord as to enrage him.
