Deuteronomy 9:18

Then I lay prostrate before the Lord as before , forty days and forty nights . I neither ate bread nor drank water , because of all the sin that you had committed , in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger .

Then once again I fell prostrate before the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water, because of all the sin you had committed, doing what was evil in the Lord`s sight and so arousing his anger.

And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights : I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
