King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
8
do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
9
where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
10
That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
11
So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
12
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
13
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
14
We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
15
As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
16
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
17
And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
18
And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
