Hebrews 3:7-11
Good News Translation
A Rest for God's People
7 (A)So then, as the Holy Spirit says,
“If you hear God's voice today,
8 do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God,
as they were that day in the desert when they put him to the test.
9 There they put me to the test and tried me, says God,
although they had seen what I did for forty years.
10 And so I was angry with those people and said,
‘They are always disloyal
and refuse to obey my commands.’
11 I was angry and made a solemn promise:
‘They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest!’”
Hebrews 3:7-11
New International Version
Warning Against Unbelief
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says:(A)
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts(B)
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors tested and tried me,
though for forty years they saw what I did.(C)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,(D)
‘They shall never enter my rest.’ (E)”[a](F)
