16 And ^vI looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God. You had made yourselves a golden¹ calf. ^wYou had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you.

18 Then I ^xlay prostrate before the Lord ^yas before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, ^zin doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger.

27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin,
