Exodus 32:17-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

17. Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting. So he said to Moses, "It sounds like war in the camp."

18. Moses replied, "It's not the sound of winning. It's not the sound of losing. It's the sound of singing that I hear."

19. As Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf. He also saw the people dancing. So he burned with anger. He threw the tablets out of his hands. They broke into pieces at the foot of the mountain.

20. He took the calf the people had made. He burned it in the fire. Then he ground it into powder. He scattered it on the water. And he made the people of Israel drink it.
