Do Not Harden Your Hearts

(Hebrews 3:7–11)

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!Deu 32:3

Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving;

let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.

For the LORD is a great God,

a great King above all gods.1Ch 16:25

In His hand are the depths of the earth,

and the mountain peaks belong to Him.Psa 50:10

The sea is His, for He made it,

and His hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down;

let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.Psa 18:6; Psa 132:7

For He is our God,

and we are the people of His pasture,

the sheep under His care.

Today, if you hear His voice,Heb 3:7; Heb 4:7

do not harden your hearts

as you did at Meribah,(a)95:8 LXX as you did in the rebellion; Meribah means quarreling; see Exodus 17:7; cited in Hebrews 3:15 and Hebrews 4:7.

in the day at Massah in the wilderness,(b)95:8 LXX in the day of testing in the wilderness; Massah means testing; see Exodus 17:7.

where your fathers tested and tried Me,

though they had seen My work.Exo 17:2; Exo 17:7

For forty years I was angry with that generation,

and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,(c)95:10 LXX They always go astray in the heart

and they have not known My ways.”Num 14:34

So I swore on oath in My anger,

“They shall never enter My rest.”(d)95:11 Cited in Hebrews 3:7–11, Hebrews 4:3, and Hebrews 4:5Heb 4:3
