Hebrews 3:7-11

A Rest for the People of God

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
b "Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for c forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, 'They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.'
11 d As I swore in my wrath,
'They shall not enter my rest.'"
