10 For forty years I loathed that generation

    and we are the people of his pasture,(A)
    the flock under his care.

“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)

    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)
