Exodus 32:15-19

15Moses turned and went down the mountain carrying the two tablets with God’s words. They were written on both sides, front and back.

16The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was God’s writing inscribed on the tablets.

17Then Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting. He said to Moses, “It’s the sound of war in the camp!”

18Moses replied, “It’s not the sound of winners shouting. It’s not the sound of losers crying. It’s the sound of a wild celebration that I hear.”

19When he came near the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. In a burst of anger Moses threw down the tablets and smashed them at the foot of the mountain.
