⁷ 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,
⁸ “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)

    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)

“Today, if you hear his voice,

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts.”^[a](A)
