Hebrews

Hebrews 3:7–12

⁷Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

“Today, if you hear His voice,

⁸do not harden your hearts,

as you did in the rebellion,

in the day of testing in the wilderness,

⁹where your fathers tested and tried Me,

and for forty years saw My works.

¹⁰Therefore I was angry with that generation,

and I said,

‘Their hearts are always going astray,

and they have not known My ways.’

¹¹So I swore on oath in My anger,

‘They shall never enter My rest.’”^d

¹²See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
