Hebrews

Hebrews 3:8–10

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.’
