Exodus 32:18

---

← Exodus 32:17	Exodus 32:18 (KJV)	Exodus 32:19 →
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.	And he said, [It is] not the voice of [them that] shout for mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [them that] cry for being overcome: [but] the noise of [them that] sing do I hear.	And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
