“So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.”
King James Version (KJV)
9:14 Let me alone! - Stop me not by thy intercession.
9:17 I brake them before your eyes - Not by an unbridled passion, but in zeal for God's honour, and by the direction of God's spirit, to signify to tine people, that the covenant between God and them contained in those tables was broken and they were now cast out of God's favour, and could expect nothing from him but fiery indignation.
