Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

^16 (A)For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? ¹⁷ Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(B)whose corpses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And ^(C)to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of ^(D)unbelief.

⁶ Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

The Word Discovers Our Condition

^11 (A)Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. ¹² For the word of God is ^(B)living and powerful, and ^(C)sharper than any ^(D)two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is ^(E)a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ^13 (F)And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are ^(G)naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
