Hebrews 3:11

Rest and sabbathJudgment

9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.

10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’

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.

13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
