Hebrews 3:7-12

7Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice,

8Do not harden your hearts as [your fathers did] in the rebellion [of Israel at Meribah], On the day of testing in the wilderness,

9Where your fathers tried Me by testing [My forbearance and tolerance], And saw My works for forty years [And found I stood their test].

10Therefore I was angered with this generation, And I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways [nor become progressively better and more intimately acquainted with them]’;

11So I swore [an oath] in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest [the promised land].’ ”

12Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart] that turns away from the living God.
