Hebrews 3:7-18
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Wherefore, as the holy Ghost saith, (A)Today if ye [a]shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the [b]provocation, according to the day of the temptation in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They [c]err ever in their heart, neither have they known my ways.
11 Therefore I swear in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
12 [d]Take heed brethren, lest at any time there be in any of you an evil heart, and unfaithful, to depart away from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, [e]while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 [f]For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keep sure unto the end that [g]beginning, wherewith we are upholden,
15 [h]So long as it is said, Today if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some when they heard, provoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned, (B)whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest, but unto them that obeyed not?
