8 Harden not your hearts, as at Mer'ibah, as on the day at Massah 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 tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
9
There they put me to the test and tried me, although they had seen what I did for them.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation and said, "They are a people who err in heart, and they do not regard my ways."

For forty years I was disgusted with those people. I said, "How disloyal they are! They refuse to obey my commands.'
11 Therefore I swore in my anger that they should not enter my rest.
11
I was angry and made a solemn promise: "You will never enter the land where I would have given you rest.' "
