    for he is our God.
We are the people of his pasture,
    and the sheep in his care.
Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
    Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah,
    as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers tempted me,
    tested me, and saw my work.
10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation,
    and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart.
    They have not known my ways.”
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,
    “They won’t enter into my rest.”

for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,(A)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
“Do not harden your hearts(B) as you did at Meribah,[a](C)
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(D)
where your ancestors tested(E) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(F) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(G)
    and they have not known my ways.’(H)
11 So I declared on oath(I) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(J)
