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

A Rest for the People of God

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as they did when they provoked me
    during the time of testing in the wilderness.
There your ancestors tested me,
even though they had seen my actions 10     for 40 years.
That is why I was indignant with that generation and said,
    ‘They are always going astray in their hearts,
        and they have not known my ways.’
11 So in my anger I swore a solemn oath
    that they would never enter my rest.”[a]
