¶ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit saith, Today if ye will hear his voice,

8 y e may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9 i n which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and saw My works forty years;

10 w herefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

11 s o I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest --!')

So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unfaithfulness, to depart from the living God.

But with whom was he indignant forty years? Was it not with those that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18 a nd to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

And to whom he swore that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that disobeyed?

19 a nd we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

So we see that they could not enter in because of their unbelief.
