Exodus 32:11-13
11But aMoses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 bWhy should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and crelent from this disaster against your people. 13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you dswore by your own self, and said to them, e‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”Exodus 34:9
9And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please flet the Lord go in the midst of us, for git is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for hyour inheritance.”Deuteronomy 9:16-29
16And iI looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God. You had made yourselves a golden ▼▼Hebrew cast metal
calf. kYou 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 llay prostrate before the Lord mas before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, nin 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. oBut 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 pI 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 qTaberah also, and at rMassah and at sKibroth-hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath. 23And twhen 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 udid not believe him or obey his voice. 24 vYou have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25 w“So I lay prostrate before the Lord for these forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had said he would destroy you. 26 xAnd I prayed to the Lord, ‘O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin, 28lest the land from which you brought us say, y“Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.” 29 zFor they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’
Isaiah 37:20
20So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”Isaiah 64:9-12
9 aaBe not so terribly angry, O Lord,aband remember not iniquity forever.
Behold, please look, we are all your people.
10 acYour holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 adOur holy and beautiful ▼
▼Or holy and glorious
house,where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12 afWill you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?
Daniel 9:18-19
18 agO my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see ahour desolations, and aithe city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. ajDelay not, akfor your own sake, O my God, because alyour city and amyour people are called by your name.”
