Exodus 32:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.

²³ They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him.

²⁴ And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.
