KJV ORIGINAL
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
But even their kids rebelled against me too. They didn't follow my rules or keep my commands — the same ones that would have given them life if they'd just listened. They completely disrespected my sabbaths. So I said, 'That's it — I'm about to unleash my anger on them right here in the wilderness.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even when God gives life-giving rules, rebellion still has consequences.
