Exodus 32:16-18

English Standard Version

^16 (A)The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets. ¹⁷ When ^(B)Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.” ¹⁸ But he said, “It is not the sound of ^(C)shouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
