When the LORD heard them, he was furious; his fire broke out against Jacob, his wrath rose against Israel, for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
his fire broke out against Jacob
Numbers 11:1 Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance
Deuteronomy 1:32-33 In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
Hebrews 2:15-19 As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." (Psalm 95:7-8) Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
