7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
a“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
a“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if1 Joshua had agiven them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
The Word Discovers Our Condition
11 aLet us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is aliving and powerful, and bsharper than any ctwo-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is da discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 aAnd there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are bnaked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Our Compassionate High Priest
14 Seeing then that we have a great aHigh Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, blet us hold fast our confession.
15 For awe do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but bwas in all points tempted as we are, cyet without sin.
16 aLet us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
