20.81 . ( Saying ) : Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you , and transgress not in respect thereof lest My wrath come upon you ; and he on whom My wrath cometh , he is lost indeed .
20. 20.82 . And lo! verily I am Forgiving toward him who repenteth and believeth and doeth good , and afterward walketh aright .
20. 20.83 . And ( it was said ) : What hath made thee hasten from thy folk , O Moses?
20. 20.84 . He said : They are close upon my track . I hastened unto Thee that Thou mightest be well pleased .
20. 20.85 . He said : Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence , and As-Samiri hath misled thee
20. 20.86 . Then Moses went back unto his folk , angry and sad He said : O my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise? Did the time appointed then appear too long for you , or did ye wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you , that ye broke tryst with me?
20. 20.87 . They said : We broke not tryst with thee of our own will , but we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk , then cast them ( in the fire ) , for thus As-Samiri proposed
20. 20.88 . Then he produced for them a calf , of saffron hue , which gave forth a lowing sound . And they cried : This is your God and the God of Moses , but he hath forgotten .
20. 20.89 . See they not , then , that it returneth no saying unto them and possesseth for them neither hurt nor use?
20. 20.90 . And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand : O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith , for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent , so follow me and obey my order .
