"How² oft¹ did they provokeª° him in the wilderness,ª [and] grieveª° him in the desert!ª ... Yea, they turned backª° and temptedª° God,ª and limitedª° the Holy Oneª of Israel.ª" {Psa 78:40-41} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Behold,¹ thou shalt sleepª° with¹ thy fathers;ª and this¹ peopleª will rise up,ª° and go a whoringª° afterª the godsª of the strangersª of the land,ª whither¹¹ they¹ goª° [to be] amongª them, and will forsakeª° me, and breakª°¹ my covenantª which¹ I have madeª° with¹ them. ... For¹ when I shall have broughtª° them into¹ the landª which¹ I swareª° unto their fathers,ª that flowethª° with milkª and honey;ª and they shall have eatenª° and filled²° themselves,¹ and waxen fat;ª° then will they turnª° unto¹ otherª gods,ª and serveª° them, and provokeª° me, and breakª°¹ my covenant.ª" {Deu 31:16-20} + "But Jeshurunª waxed fat,ª° and kicked:ª° thou art waxen fat,ª° thou art grown thick,ª° thou art coveredª° [with fatness]; then he forsookª° Godª [which] madeª° him, and lightly esteemedª° the Rockª of his salvation.ª ... They¹ have moved me to jealousyª° with [that which is] notª God;ª they have provoked me to angerª° with their vanities:ª and I¹ will move them to jealousyª° with [those which are] not¹ a people;ª I will provoke them to angerª° with a foolishª nation.ª" {Deu 32:15-21} + "And the childrenª of Israelª didª°¹ evilª in the sightª of the LORD,ª and servedª°¹ Baalim:ª ... And they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which brought them outª°¹ of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and followedª²°¹ otherª gods,ª of the godsª¹ of the peopleª that¹ [were] round aboutª them, and bowed²° themselves¹ unto them, and provoked¹¹ the LORDª to anger.ª°" {Jdg 2:11-12} + "For [so] it was,¹ that¹ the childrenª of Israelª had sinnedª° against the LORDª their God,ª which had brought them upª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª from under¹¹ the handª of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt,ª and had fearedª° otherª gods,ª ... Until¹¹ the LORDª removedª°¹ Israelª out of¹¹ his sight,ª as¹ he had saidª° byª all¹ his servantsª the prophets.ª So was Israelª carried awayª° out of¹¹ their own landª to Assyriaª unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {2Kg 17:7-23} + "And they tookª° strongª° cities,ª and a fatª land,ª and possessedª° housesª fullª of all¹ goods,ª wellsª digged,ª° vineyards,ª and oliveyards,ª and fruitª treesª in abundance:ª so they did eat,ª° and were filled,ª° and became fat,ª° and delighted²° themselves¹ in thy greatª goodness.ª ...
