⁷ It is just as the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God's voice today, ⁸ don't be stubborn! Don't rebel like those people who were tested in the desert. * ⁹ For forty years your ancestors tested God and saw the things he did. ¹⁰ "Then God got tired of them and said, 'You people never show good sense, and you don't understand what I want you to do.' ¹¹ God became angry and told the people, 'You will never enter my place of rest!' " ¹² My friends, watch out! Don't let evil thoughts or doubts make any of you turn from the living God. ¹³ You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called "today." If you don't, then sin may fool some of you and make you stubborn. ¹⁴ We were sure about Christ when we first became his people. So let's hold tightly to our faith until the end. ¹⁵ The Scriptures say, "If you hear his voice today, don't be stubborn like those who rebelled." ¹⁶ Who were those people that heard God's voice and rebelled? Weren't they the same ones that came out of Egypt with Moses? ¹⁷ Who were the people that made God angry for forty years? Weren't they the ones that sinned and died in the desert? ¹⁸ And who did God say would never enter his place of rest? Weren't they the ones that disobeyed him? ¹⁹ We see that those people did not enter the place of rest because they did not have faith.
