8 They have turned aside in a hurry from the way I have commanded them to go.+ They have made a molten statue of a calf for themselves and keep bowing down to it and sacrificing to it and saying, ‘This is your God,* O Israel, who led you up out of the land of Egypt.’”+

12 and Jehovah proceeded to say to me, ‘Get up, go down quickly from here, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted ruinously.+ They have turned aside quickly from the way about which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten image.’+

7 And the people continued to serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua and all the days of the older men* who extended their days after Joshua* and who had seen all of Jehovah’s great work that he did for Israel.+
