Verse 148

وَٱتَّخَذَ And took قَوْمُ (the) people مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa مِنۢ from بَعْدِهِۦ after him مِنْ from حُلِيِّهِمْ their ornaments عِجْلًۭا a calf جَسَدًۭا an image لَّهُۥ [for] it خُوَارٌ ۚ (had) a lowing sound أَلَمْ Did not يَرَوْا۟ they see أَنَّهُۥ that it لَا (could) not يُكَلِّمُهُمْ speak to them وَلَا and not يَهْدِيهِمْ guide them سَبِيلًا ۘ (to) a way ٱتَّخَذُوهُ They took it (for worship) وَكَانُوا۟ and they were ظَـٰلِمِينَ wrongdoers ١٤٨

And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
