Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today if you will hear his voice,
    don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
    in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
    where your fathers tested me and tried me,
    and saw my deeds for forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
    and said, ‘They always err in their heart,
    but they didn’t know my ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
    ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”Psalm 95:7-11

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]
