⁷ 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,
⁸ “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)
9 where your ancestors tested^(E) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸     do not harden your hearts^(B)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
⁹ where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.^(C)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
¹¹ So I declared on oath in my anger,^(D)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ^(E)”^[a](F)
