New American Standard Bible
18 But he said,
“It is not the sound of the cry of victory,
Nor is it the sound of the cry of defeat;
But I hear the sound of singing.”
Moses’ Anger
19 And it came about, as soon as [a]Moses approached the camp, that (A)he saw the calf and the people dancing; and Moses’ anger burned, and (B)he threw the tablets from his hands and shattered them to pieces [b]at the foot of the mountain. 20 Then (C)he took the calf which they had made and completely burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it over the surface of the water and made the sons of Israel drink it.
