Exodus 33:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ The people heard this sad news and they mourned. No one put on his ornaments.

⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Say this to the children of Israel, ‘You are an obstinate people. If I were to go up with you for a single moment, I would surely destroy you. Now, take off your ornaments so that I may know what to do with you.’ ”

⁶ The children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
