Deuteronomy 9:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ That is why I fell down before him for forty days and nights when the Lord was ready to destroy you.

²⁶ “I prayed to him, ‘O Lord God, don’t destroy your own people. They are your inheritance saved from Egypt by your mighty power and glorious strength. ²⁷ Don’t notice the rebellion and stubbornness of these people, but remember instead your promises to your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Oh, please overlook the awful wickedness and sin of these people.
