Context
God’s Promised Rest
4:1 Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.
4:2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good , since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith .
4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest , as he has said , “As I swore in my anger , ‘They will never enter my rest !’” And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world .
4:4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way : “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works ,”
4:5 but to repeat the text cited earlier: “They will never enter my rest !”
4:6 Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience .
4:7 So God again ordains a certain day , “Today ,” speaking through David after so long a time , as in the words quoted before , “O, that today you would listen as he speaks ! Do not harden your hearts .”
4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest , God would not have spoken afterward about another day .
4:9 Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God .
