Psalm 78:17
New King James Version
17 But they sinned even more against Him
By (A)rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
Isaiah 63:10
New King James Version
10 But they (A)rebelled and (B)grieved His Holy Spirit;
(C)So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.
Hebrews 3:16-19
New King James Version
Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers
16 (A)For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (B)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And (C)to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of (D)unbelief.

Psalm 106:13-32
New King James Version
13 (A)They soon forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel,
14 (B)But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tested God in the desert.
15 (C)And He gave them their request,
But (D)sent leanness into their soul.
16 When (E)they envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord,
17 (F)The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram.
18 (G)A fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.
19 (H)They made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped the molded image.
20 Thus (I)they changed their glory
Into the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
Awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 (J)Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one (K)stood before Him in the breach,
To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.
24 Then they despised (L)the pleasant land;
They (M)did not believe His word,
25 (N)But complained in their tents,
And did not heed the voice of the Lord.
26 (O)Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them,
(P)To [a]overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 (Q)To [b]overthrow their descendants among the [c]nations,
And to scatter them in the lands.
28 (R)They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices [d]made to the dead.
29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them.
30 (S)Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,
And the plague was stopped.
31 And that was accounted to him (T)for righteousness
To all generations forevermore.
32 (U)They angered Him also at the waters of [e]strife,
(V)So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

New King James Version
8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the [a]rebellion,
(A)As in the day of [b]trial in the wilderness,
9 When (B)your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they (C)saw My work.
10 For (D)forty years I was [c]grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’

New King James Version
Deuteronomy 9:12-22
New King James Version
12 “Then the Lord said to me, (A)‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have (B)quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molded image.’
13 “Furthermore (C)the Lord spoke to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed (D)they are a [a]stiff-necked people. 14 (E)Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and (F)blot out their name from under heaven; (G)and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’
15 (H)“So I turned and came down from the mountain, and (I)the mountain burned with fire; and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. 16 And (J)I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God—had made for yourselves a molded calf! You had turned aside quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. 17 Then I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and (K)broke them before your eyes. 18 And I (L)fell[b] down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you committed in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 19 (M)For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you. (N)But the Lord listened to me at that time also. 20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron and would have destroyed him; so I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 21 Then I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I (O)threw its dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 “Also at (P)Taberah and (Q)Massah and (R)Kibroth Hattaavah you [c]provoked the Lord to wrath.
