7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

He is our God; we are the people he cares for, the flock for which he provides. Listen today to what he says:
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
8
"Don't be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah, as they were that day in the desert at Massah.
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
9
There they put me to the test and tried me, although they had seen what I did for them.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
10
For forty years I was disgusted with those people. I said, "How disloyal they are! They refuse to obey my commands.'
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
11
I was angry and made a solemn promise: "You will never enter the land where I would have given you rest.' "
