For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice,(A)

Harden not your hearts as at Meribah and as at Massah in the day of temptation in the wilderness,(B)

When your fathers tried My patience and tested Me, proved Me, and saw My work [of judgment].

10 Forty years long was I grieved and disgusted with that generation, and I said, It is a people that do err in their hearts, and they do not approve, acknowledge, or regard My ways.

11 Wherefore I swore in My wrath that they would not enter My rest [the land of promise].(C)

for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,(A)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
“Do not harden your hearts(B) as you did at Meribah,[a](C)
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(D)
where your ancestors tested(E) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(F) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(G)
    and they have not known my ways.’(H)
11 So I declared on oath(I) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(J)
