Hebrews 3:10
8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
