(Deuteronomy 9: 25-29 [25-2]
After you had made the idol in the shape of a calf, the Lord said he was going to destroy you. So I lay face down in front of the Lord for 40 days and nights and prayed:
"Our Lord, please don't wipe out your people. You used your great power to rescue them from Egypt and to make them your very own."
Don’t ever forget the Lord your God.
Don’t ever follow other gods or worship and serve them.
