Psalm 78:17
English Standard Version
17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
(A)rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
Isaiah 63:10
English Standard Version
10 (A)But they rebelled
(B)and grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
and himself fought against them.
Psalm 106:13-32
English Standard Version
13 But they soon (A)forgot his works;
they did not wait for (B)his counsel.
14 But they had (C)a wanton craving in the wilderness,
and (D)put God to the test in the desert;
15 he (E)gave them what they asked,
but sent (F)a wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp (G)were jealous of Moses
and Aaron, (H)the holy one of the Lord,
17 (I)the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 (J)Fire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They (K)made a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20 They (L)exchanged the glory of God[a]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They (M)forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in (N)the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore (O)he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his (P)chosen one,
(Q)stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they (R)despised (S)the pleasant land,
having (T)no faith in his promise.
25 They (U)murmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore he (V)raised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
(W)scattering them among the lands.
28 Then they (X)yoked themselves to the (Y)Baal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to (Z)the dead;
29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then (AA)Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31 And that was (AB)counted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They (AC)angered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,

Psalm 95:8-10
English Standard Version
8 (A)do not harden your hearts, as at (B)Meribah,
as on the day at (C)Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the (D)test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my (E)work.
10 (F)For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known (G)my ways.”
Psalm 78:32
English Standard Version
Deuteronomy 9:12-22
English Standard Version
12 Then the Lord said to me, (A)‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have (B)turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.’
The Golden Calf
13 (C)“Furthermore, the Lord said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is (D)a stubborn people. 14 (E)Let me alone, that I may destroy them and (F)blot out their name from under heaven. And (G)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 was burning 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. You had made yourselves a golden[a] calf. (K)You had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you. 17 So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. 18 Then I (L)lay prostrate before the Lord (M)as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, (N)in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. 19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the Lord bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. (O)But the Lord listened to me that time also. 20 And the Lord was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 21 Then (P)I took the sinful thing, the calf that you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I threw the dust of it into the brook that ran down from the mountain.
22 “At (Q)Taberah also, and at (R)Massah and at (S)Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath.

English Standard Version
16 For (A)who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not (B)all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (C)whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that (D)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that (E)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
