⁷ Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear --

⁸ ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

⁹ in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

¹⁰ wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

¹¹ so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- !')

¹² See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

¹³ but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

¹⁴ for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

¹⁵ in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,'

¹⁶ for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;

¹⁷ but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸ and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

¹⁹ and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
