Hebrews 3:7–19

⁷Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, ‘To-day, if His voice ye may hear— ⁸ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness, ⁹in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years; ¹⁰wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways; ¹¹so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest—!’) ¹²See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God, ¹³but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin, ¹⁴for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast, ¹⁵in its being said, ‘To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,’ ¹⁶for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses; ¹⁷but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe?— ¹⁹and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
