Hebrews 3:7
5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
