KJV ORIGINAL
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But Israel straight up rebelled against me in the wilderness. They ignored my rules and rejected my ways — the very things that would have brought them life. They completely trashed my Sabbaths. I was so angry I was ready to unleash my fury and wipe them out right there in the desert.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Israel had the blueprint for life but chose chaos instead, and God was done with their disrespect.
