That is why the Holy Spirit says,

“Today when you hear his voice,
    don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled,
    when they tested me in the wilderness.
There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
    even though they saw my miracles for forty years.
10 So I was angry with them, and I said,
‘Their hearts always turn away from me.
    They refuse to do what I tell them.’
11 So in my anger I took an oath:
    ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”[a]

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]
