Psalm 95:8-11
King James Version
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 95:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)do not harden your hearts, as at (B)Meribah,
as on the day at (C)Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the (D)test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my (E)work.
10 (F)For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known (G)my ways.”
11 Therefore I (H)swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter (I)my rest.”
Psalm 95:8-11
New King James Version
8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the [a]rebellion,
(A)As in the day of [b]trial in the wilderness,
9 When (B)your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they (C)saw My work.
10 For (D)forty years I was [c]grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
11 So (E)I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
