8“Do not harden your heart as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, 9when your fathers tested Me, they challenged Me, even though they had seen My work. For forty years I loathed that generation. So I said: ‘It is a people whose heart goes astray, who do not know My ways.’ 11Therefore I swore in My anger, ‘They shall never enter into My rest.’”
