Context of Hebrews 3:11
9Wherewith your fathers tempted me by proving me, And saw my works forty years. 10Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart: But they did not know my ways; As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. 12Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: 13but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called Today; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

Commentaries on Hebrews 3:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11So I sware in my wrath - God's grief at their continued disobedience became wrath at their final impenitence, and therefore he excluded them from the promised rest.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11So I sware in my wrath - God is often represented in the Scriptures as “swearing” - and usually as swearing by himself, or by his own existence. Of course this in figurative, and denotes a strong affirmation, or a settled and determined purpose. An oath with us implies the strongest affirmation, or the expression of the most settled and determined purpose of mind. The meaning here is, that so refractory and perverse had they showed themselves, that he…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-13Verses 7-13 Days of temptation are often days of provocation. But to provoke God, when he is letting us see that we entirely depend and live upon him, is a provocation indeed. The hardening of the heart is the spring of all other sins. The sins of others, especially of our relations, should be warnings to us. All sin, especially sin committed by God's professing, privileged people, not only provokes God, but it grieves him. God is loth to destroy any in…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11Rebellion has consequences. God’s anger is not just an emotional reaction. It is his fair and just response to sin (John 3:36; Romans 1:18; 1 Thessalonians 2:16). God's promise (see Hebrews 6:13–20; 7:20–22, 28) was that they would never enter Canaan, the land of rest from their travels (Deuteronomy 1:19–46; 3:20; 12:10; Joshua 1:13).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-117-11. Exhortation from Psa 95:7-11, not through unbelief to lose participation in the spiritual house. Seeing that we are the house of God if we hold fast our confidence ... (He 3:6). Jesus is "faithful," be not ye unfaithful (He 3:2, 12). The sentence beginning with "wherefore," interrupted by the parenthesis confirming the argument from Psa 95:7-11, is completed at He 3:12, "Take heed," &c. Holy Ghost saith--by the inspired Psalmist; so that the words…Read the comment
