Isaiah 63:10

וְהֵמָּה מָרוּ וְעִצְּבוּ אֶת-רוּחַ קָדְשׁוֹ וַיֵּהָפֵךְ לָהֶם לְאוֹיֵב הוּא נִלְחַם-בָּֽם׃
10
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

Hebrews 3:16

τίνες γὰρ ἀκούσαντες παρεπίκραναν ἀλλ' οὐ πάντες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου διὰ Μωσέως
16
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

Psalms 95:8

אַל-תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה כְּיוֹם מַסָּה בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
8
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Deuteronomy 9:8

וּבְחֹרֵב הִקְצַפְתֶּם אֶת-יְהוָה וַיִּתְאַנַּף יְהוָה בָּכֶם לְהַשְׁמִיד אֶתְכֶֽם׃
8
Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

Psalms 106:13

מִֽהֲרוּ שָׁכְחוּ מַעֲשָׂיו לֹֽא-חִכּוּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹ׃
13
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

Deuteronomy 9:12

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי קוּם רֵד מַהֵר מִזֶּה כִּי שִׁחֵת עַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתָ מִמִּצְרָיִם סָרוּ מַהֵר מִן-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִם עָשׂוּ לָהֶם מַסֵּכָֽה׃
12
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

Psalms 78:32

בְּכָל-זֹאת חָֽטְאוּ-עוֹד וְלֹֽא-הֶאֱמִינוּ בְּנִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃
32
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
