Origen, on Exod 32:7

“And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.”

“Therefore just as the people are God's when they do not sin but are no longer said to be his when they sin, so also the feats are the feats of sinners when they are hated by the Lord's soul, but when they are ordained by the Lord, they are called the Lord's.”
