Exodus 33:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 33
2And I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 3Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way.'
4When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his jewelry.
5For the Lord had said to Moses, 'Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are an obstinate people; if I were to go up in your midst for just one moment, I would destroy you. So now, take off your jewelry that I may know what I shall do to you.’?'
6So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry, from Mount Horeb onward.

4And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
5For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
6And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
