18 Then I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, just as I had before. I didn’t eat or drink anything because of all the sins you had committed by doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight, making him angry. 19 I was terrified at how angry and furious the Lord was with you. He was ready to destroy you. But once again the Lord listened to me.
25 So I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had threatened to destroy you. 26 I prayed to the Lord, saying, "Please Lord, God, don’t destroy your people that belong to you, the ones whom you rescued by your great ability and led out of Egypt by your power.
