- Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks!
- “Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
in the day of testing in the wilderness.
- “There your fathers tested me and tried me,
and they saw my works for forty years.
- “Therefore, I became provoked at that generation
and said, ‘Their hearts are always wandering
and they have not known my ways.’
- “So I made a promise in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”
…
- So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
…
Chapter 4
- Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
