From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But they rebelled -Against God. This charge is often made against the Jews; and indeed their history is little more than a record of a series of rebellions against God. And vexed -Or rather ‘grieved.’ The Hebrew wordעצב‛âtsab, in Piel, means to pain, to afflict, to grieve. This is the idea here. Their conduct was such as was suited to produce the deepest pain - for there is nothing which we more deeply feel than the ingratitude of those who have been benefited by us.
