Hebrews 3:7-19 - A Serious Warning Against Unbelief

⁷ Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, when your fathers tempted me, ⁹ proved me, and saw my works forty years: ¹⁰ wherefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, They are always erring in their heart, and they have not known my ways: ¹¹ so I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest."

¹² Take heed, my brethren, least there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in departing from the living God: ¹³ but exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day; that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin: ¹⁴ for we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm unto the end; inasmuch as it is said, ¹⁵ "To-day if ye will hear his voice,

¹⁶ harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." For some that heard did provoke; but not all that came out of Egypt with Moses. ¹⁷ But with whom was He provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ and to whom did He swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that were disobedient? ¹⁹ and so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
