For He is our God. And we are the people of His field, and the sheep of His hand. If you hear His voice today, do not let your hearts become hard as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert. Your early fathers put Me to the test and tried Me. But they had seen the work I did. 10 I was angry with the people of that day for forty years. I said, “They always think wrong thoughts. And they do not know My ways.” 11 I was angry with them and said, “They will never go into My rest.”

for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,(A)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
“Do not harden your hearts(B) as you did at Meribah,[a](C)
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(D)
where your ancestors tested(E) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(F) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(G)
    and they have not known my ways.’(H)
11 So I declared on oath(I) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(J)
