Hebrews 3:7-11

New International Version

Warning Against Unbelief

⁷So, as the Holy Spirit says:^(A)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸    do not harden your hearts^(B)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
⁹where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.^(C)
¹⁰That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
¹¹So I declared on oath in my anger,^(D)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ^(E)”^[a]^(F)

Hebrews 3:7-11

International Standard Version

A Rest for the People of God

⁷Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸do not harden your hearts
as they did when they provoked me
    during the time of testing in the wilderness.
⁹There 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.’
¹¹So in my anger I swore a solemn oath
    that they would never enter my rest.”^[a]
