God exalted be He says ‘Surely those who chose the calf as a god. wrath chastisement and abasement shall come upon them from their Lord in the life of this world and so they were punished for this deed by the command to slay themselves and abasement was stamped upon them until the Day of Resurrection. Even as We have requited them so We requite those who invent lies against God by way of idolatry and otherwise.
