Hebrews 3:7-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Warning against Unbelief
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today, if you hear his voice,(A)
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
as on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors put me to the test,[a]
though they had seen my works 10 for forty years.
Therefore I was angry with that generation,
and I said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts,
and they have not known my ways.’
11 As in my anger I swore,
‘They will not enter my rest.’ ”
