Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁹ And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.

⁴⁰ And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.

⁴¹ And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?
