Turn from thy fierce wrath, and have compassion over the
wickedness of thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy
servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self and saidest unto
them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all
this land which I have said, I will give unto your seed: and they
shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD refrained himself from
that evil, which he said he would do unto his people. And Moses
turned his back and went down from the hill, and the two tables of
witness in his hand: which were written on both the leaves and
were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God
graven upon the tables. And when Iosua heard the noise of the
people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: there is a noise of
war in the host. And he said: it is not the cry of them that have
the mastery, nor of them that have the worse: but I do hear the
noise of singing. And as soon as he came nye unto the host and saw
the calf and the dancing, his wrath waxed hot, and he cast the
tables out of his hand, and brake them even at the hill foot. And
the took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and
stamped it unto powder and strowed it in the water, and made the
children of Israel drink.
