A Rest for God's People

(A) It is just as the Holy Spirit says,

“If you hear God's voice today,
    don't be stubborn!
Don't rebel like those people
who were tested
    in the desert.
* [a] For forty years your ancestors
tested God and saw
    the things he did.

10 “Then God got tired of them
    and said,
‘You people never
    show good sense,
and you don't understand
    what I want you to do.’
11 God became angry
    and told the people,
‘You will never enter
    my place of rest!’ ”

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)
