תנ״ך אויף דברים 13:15

And I set my heart to seek out and ponder with wisdom [i.e., Torah] everything [evil] that is done under the sun, [and I understood that it is a function of] the [freedom for] evil conduct placed by G-d before the sons of men to conduct themselves by [viz. Deuteronomy 13:15].

They incited His vengeance with strangers, with loathsomeness did they spite Him.
