Psalm 95:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)do not harden your hearts, as at (B)Meribah,
as on the day at (C)Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the (D)test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my (E)work.
10 (F)For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known (G)my ways.”
11 Therefore I (H)swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter (I)my rest.”
Proverbs 1:24-31
English Standard Version
24 (A)Because I have called and (B)you refused to listen,
have (C)stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have (D)ignored all my counsel
and (E)would have none of my reproof,
26 I also (F)will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when (G)terror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like (H)a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 (I)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they (J)hated knowledge
and (K)did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (L)would have none of my counsel
and (M)despised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat (N)the fruit of their way,
and have (O)their fill of their own devices.
Proverbs 29:1
English Standard Version
29 (A)He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
will suddenly be (B)broken (C)beyond healing.
Hebrews 3
English Standard Version
Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in (A)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, (B)the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, (C)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[b] house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but (D)the builder of all things is God.) 5 (E)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (F)as a servant, (G)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as (H)a son. And (I)we are his house, if indeed we (J)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[c]
A Rest for the People of God
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
(K)“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for (L)forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.’
11 (M)As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest.’”
12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from (N)the living God. 13 But (O)exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by (P)the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, (Q)if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,
(R)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16 For (S)who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not (T)all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, (U)whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that (V)they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that (W)they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
