Exodus 32:7-8

7And the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have ^bcorrupted themselves. 8They have turned aside quickly out of the way that ^cI commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’”

Nehemiah 9:16-20

16“But they and our fathers ^dacted presumptuously and stiffened their neck and did not obey your commandments. 17They refused to obey ^eand were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, ^fgracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them. 18Even ^gwhen they had made for themselves a golden ▼

▼Hebrew metal

calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ ⁱand had committed great blasphemies, 19you ^jin your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. ^kThe pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, ^lnor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way by which they should go. 20 ^mYou gave your good Spirit to instruct them ⁿand did not withhold your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst.

Psalms 81:11-12

11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel ^owould not submit to me.
12So I ^pgave them over to their ^qstubborn hearts,
to follow their own ^rcounsels.

Psalms 106:7-48

7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they ^sdid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but ^trebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8Yet he saved them ^ufor his name’s sake,
^vthat he might make known his mighty power.
9He ^wrebuked the Red Sea, and it ^xbecame dry,
and he ^yled them through the deep as through a desert.
10So he ^zsaved them from the hand of the foe
and ^aaredeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11And ^abthe waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12Then ^acthey believed his words;
they ^adsang his praise.
13 But they soon ^aeforgot his works;
they did not wait for ^afhis counsel.
14But they had ^aga wanton craving in the wilderness,
and ^ahput God to the test in the desert;
15he ^aigave them what they asked,
but sent ^aja wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp ^akwere jealous of Moses
and Aaron, ^althe holy one of the Lord,
17 ^amthe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 ^anFire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They ^aomade a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20They ^apexchanged the glory of God ▼

▼Hebrew  exchanged their glory

for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They ^arforgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in ^asthe land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore ^athe said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his ^auchosen one,
^avstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they ^awdespised ^axthe pleasant land,
having ^ayno faith in his promise.
25They ^azmurmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he ^baraised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
^bbscattering them among the lands.
28 Then they ^bcyoked themselves to the ^bdBaal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to ^bethe dead;
29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30Then ^bfPhinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31And that was ^bgcounted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They ^bhangered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33for they ^bimade his spirit bitter, ▼

▼Or  they rebelled against God’s Spirit

and he ^bkspoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not ^bldestroy the peoples,
^bmas the Lord commanded them,
35but they ^bnmixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became ^boa snare to them.
37They ^bpsacrificed their sons
and their daughters to ^bqthe demons;
38they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was ^brpolluted with blood.
39Thus they ^bsbecame unclean by their acts,
and ^btplayed the whore in their deeds.
40 Then ^buthe anger of the Lord was kindled against ^bvhis people,
and he abhorred his ^bwheritage;
41he ^bxgave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies ^byoppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 ^bzMany times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their ^capurposes
and were ^cbbrought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he ^ccheard their cry.
45For their sake he ^cdremembered his covenant,
and ^cerelented according to ^cfthe abundance of his steadfast love.
46He caused them to be ^cgpitied
by all those who held them captive.
47 ^chSave us, O Lord our God,
and ^cigather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
48 ^cjBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
^ckAnd let all the people say, “Amen!”
^clPraise the Lord!

26 ^cmYet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, ^cnbut stiffened their neck. ^coThey did worse than their fathers.

Jeremiah 11:7-8

7For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, ^cpwarning them persistently, even to this day, saying, ^cqObey my voice. 8 ^crYet they did not obey or incline their ear, ^csbut everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all ^ctthe words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”
