The Heights - 7:152 Those who idolize the calf will incur a wrath from their Lord and a humiliation in the life of this world. This is how We punish the slanderers.
Our Lord's wrath on those who take the calf as God means that their understanding will be completely removed and they will never be guided again:
The Table Spread/5:60 "Say: "Shall I inform you of something worse than this in the sight of Allah? Whom Allah has cursed and wrathfully turned into apes, pigs and idolaters, those are the worst in the land and the most astray from the right path."

The Cow/2:87 We gave Moses the Book and sent messengers after him in succession. And We gave clear proofs to Jesus, son of Mary, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Whenever a messenger came to you with something you did not like, were you not arrogant? Indeed, some of them you denied and some of them you killed.
The Cow/2:88 "They even said: "We are fixed-minded". Yet Allah had cursed them for their disbelief! That is why few of them believe."

The Women/4:46 "Some of the Jews change the meaning of words and say, "We have heard but we do not accept,"or, "Your word falls on deaf ears,"or they twist their tongues to mock religion and say, "Raina (be our shepherd)."It would have been better and more correct for them if they had said, "We have heard and obeyed,""We are listening,"and "Watch over us."But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief. Many of them do not believe."

The Table Spread/5:13 We cursed them and hardened their hearts because they broke their promises. They take the meaning of words out of context. They have forgotten some of what they were warned about. From most of them you will see constant betrayal. Forgive them and ignore them. Allah loves those who do good.

Muhammad/47:23 These are they whom Allah has cursed and made deaf and blind.
