Hebrews 3:15-19

3:15 As it says, ¹  “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! ²  Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” ³  3:16 For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership? ⁴  3:17 And against whom was God ⁵  provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? ⁶  3:18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient? 3:19 So ⁷  we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
