The Complete Passuk

וְעַתָּה לֵךְ נְחֵה אֶת־הָעָם אֶל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּרְתִּי לָךְ הִנֵּה מַלְאָכִי יֵלֵךְ לְפָנֶיךָ וּבְיוֹם פָּקְדִי וּפָקַדְתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם חַטָּאתָם׃

Torah Temimah points to classical source on this unit (verified).

וּבְיוֹם פָּקְדִי וּפָקַדְתִּי — עֹנֶשׁ לְעָתִיד.

English: “On the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them” — future reckoning.

Derash on deferred punishment for the calf.

Hashem sends Moshe to lead the people; an angel will go before him; and on the day of visitation their sin will be visited upon them.
