Hebrews 3:15–4:2

¹⁵while it is said,

To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

¹⁶For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses? ¹⁷And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? ¹⁹And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

4Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. ²For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.
