Therefore, just as (A)the Holy Spirit says,

(B)Today if you hear His voice,
(C)Do not harden your hearts as [a]when they provoked Me,
As on the day of trial in the wilderness,
(D)Where your fathers put Me to the test,
And saw My works for (E)forty years.
10 (F)Therefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;
11 (G)As I swore in My anger,
They certainly shall not enter My rest.’”

  1. Hebrews 3:8 Lit in the provocation

Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith,

[a]To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
[b]Where your fathers tried me by proving me,
And saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,
And said, They do always err in their heart:
But they did not know my ways;
11 [c]As I sware in my wrath,
[d]They shall not enter into my rest.

Warning Against Unbelief

So, as the Holy Spirit says:(A)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts(B)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.(C)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(D)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (E)[a](F)
