Psalms 95:8-11

Psalms 95

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

8do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

9where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.

10For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”

11So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”
