    8He says,“Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah, like they were that day at Massah in the wilderness,

    3For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,“As I swore in my anger,‘They will never enter my rest!’” And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world.

    4For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way:“And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”

    5but to repeat the text cited earlier:“They will never enter my rest!”

    6Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience.

    7So God again ordains a certain day,“Today,” speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before,“Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts.”

    8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken afterward about another day.

    9Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.

    10For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

    11Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
