Therefore, just as ^(C1)the Holy Spirit says, "^(C2)TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

^(C1)DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS ^(F1)WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS ON THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

^(C1)WHERE YOUR FATHERS PUT ME TO THE TEST, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR ^(C2)FORTY YEARS.

-"^(C1)THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';

^(C1)AS I SWORE IN MY ANGER, 'THEY CERTAINLY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'"

^(C1)Take care, brothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart ^(F1)that falls away from ^(C2)the living God.

But ^(C1)encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called "today," so that none of you will be hardened by the ^(C2)deceitfulness of sin.

For we have become partakers of Christ ^(C1)if we keep the beginning of our ^(F1)(C2)commitment firm until the end,

while it is said, "^(C1)TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS ^(F1)WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."

For who ^(C1)provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, ^(C2)did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(C1)whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did He swear ^(C1)that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were ^(C2)disobedient?

And so we see that they were not able to enter because of ^(C1)unbelief.
