7:148

وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسٰى مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ حُلِیِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَهُ خُوَارٌؕ اَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّهُ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا یَهْدٖیهِمْ سَبٖیلًاۘ اِتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُوا ظَالِمٖینَ

Waittakhatha qawmu moosa min baAAdihi min huliyyihim AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun alam yaraw annahu la yukallimuhum wala yahdeehim sabeelan ittakhathoohu wakanoo thalimeena

Translations

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

Saheeh International

And the folk of Moses, after (he left them), chose a calf (for worship), (made) out of their ornaments, of saffron hue, which gave a lowing sound. Saw they not that it spake not unto them nor guided them to any way? They chose it, and became wrong-doers
