18 I fell down like the first time in the presence of the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I did not eat food or drink water because of all the sin you committed, doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight and angering him. 19 I was afraid of the fierce anger the Lord had directed against you, 9:19 Heb 12:21 because he was about to destroy you. But again the Lord listened to me on that occasion. 9:19 Dt 10:10
25 "I fell down in the presence of the Lord forty days and forty nights because the Lord had threatened to destroy you. 26 I prayed to the Lord:
Lord God, do not annihilate your people, your inheritance, whom you redeemed 9:26 Dt 7:8; 15:15; 24:18 through your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a strong hand.
