Provoke him not

"As I swore in my anger, 'They will never enter my rest!'"

For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,

Take care not to refuse the one who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven?
