Deuteronomy 9:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ I was afraid of the Lord’s anger and rage, because he was angry enough with you to destroy you, but the Lord listened to me again. ²⁰ And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but then I prayed for Aaron, too. ²¹ I took that sinful calf idol you had made and burned it in the fire. I crushed it into a powder like dust and threw the dust into a stream that flowed down the mountain.
