Deuteronomy 9:7-24

7Remember and do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness. aFrom the day you came out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord. 8Even bat Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, and the Lord was so angry with you that he was ready to destroy you. 9 cWhen I went up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the Lord made with you, I remained on the mountain dforty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. 10And ethe Lord gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words that the Lord had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire fon the day of the assembly. 11And at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant. 12Then the Lord said to me, gArise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have hturned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.’

The Golden Calf

13 i“Furthermore, the Lord said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is ja stubborn people. 14 kLet me alone, that I may destroy them and lblot out their name from under heaven. And mI will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’ 15 nSo I turned and came down from the mountain, and othe mountain was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. 16And pI looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God. You had made yourselves a golden
Hebrew cast metal
calf. rYou had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you.
17So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. 18Then I slay prostrate before the Lord tas before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, uin doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. 19For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the Lord bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. vBut the Lord listened to me that time also. 20And the Lord was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 21Then wI took the sinful thing, the calf that you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I threw the dust of it into the brook that ran down from the mountain.

22“At xTaberah also, and at yMassah and at zKibroth-hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath. 23And aawhen the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God and abdid not believe him or obey his voice. 24 acYou have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.

Psalms 51:5

5Behold, adI was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Psalms 58:3

3 The wicked are aeestranged from the womb;
they go astray from birth, speaking lies.

Ezekiel 16:3-5

3and say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an afAmorite and your mother a agHittite. 4And as for your birth, ahon the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. 5No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, aibut you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, ajon the day that you were born.
