Hebrews 3:9

Hebrews 3:9

Be Faithful

7 Therefore, as ^athe Holy Spirit says:
^b“Today, if you will hear His voice,

8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,

9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.

10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’

11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

13 but¹ exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hebrews 3:8

Hebrews 3:10 >>

Where your fathers - That hard - hearted and stiff - necked generation. So little cause had their descendants to glory in them. Tempted me - Whether I could and would help them. Proved me - Put my patience to the proof, even while they saw my glorious works both of judgment and mercy, and that for forty years.
