Ezekiel 20:21

Notwithstanding, the banim rebelled against Me; they walked not in My chukkot, neither were shomer over My mishpatim to do them, which if ha'adam does, he shall even live in them; they profaned My Shabbatot. Then I said, I would pour out My chemah (wrath) upon them, to accomplish My anger against them in the midbar.
