Hebrews 3:16-19
New English Translation
16 For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership?[a] 17 And against whom was God[b] provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?[c] 18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? 19 So[d] we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.

Common English Bible
16 Who was it who rebelled when they heard his voice? Wasn’t it all of those who were brought out of Egypt by Moses? 17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it with the ones who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? 18 And against whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not against the ones who were disobedient? 19 We see that they couldn’t enter because of their lack of faith.
