Exodus 32:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?

²² And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.

²³ They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him.
