Context of Hebrews 3:12
10Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways; 11so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.

Commentaries on Hebrews 3:12
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you - Take warning by those disobedient Israelites; they were brought out of the house of bondage, and had the fullest promise of a land of prosperity and rest. By their disobedience they came short of it, and fell in the wilderness.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12Take heed, brethren - In view of the conduct of the rebellious Jews, and of their fearful doom, be on your guard lest you also be found to have had the same feelings of rebellion and unbelief. See to it, that under the new dispensation, and in the enjoyment of the privileges of the gospel, you be not found to manifest such feelings as shall exclude you from the heavenly world.

God is loth to destroy any in…Read the comment
