The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
themselves:
EXO 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped
it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O
Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
EXO 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
EXO 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against
them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great
nation.
