And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but then I prayed for Aaron, too.
Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you? Why did you cause them to do such a terrible sin?”
So the Lord caused terrible things to happen to the people because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
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.
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.
