Our brothers have drained away our courage by describing people who are more numerous and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven itself! Moreover, they said they saw Anakites there.” 29 So I responded to you,“Do not be terrified of them! 30 The LORD your God is about to go ahead of you; he will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt 31 and in the wilderness, where you saw him carrying you along like a man carries his son. This he did everywhere you went until you came to this very place.” 32 However, through all this you did not have confidence in the LORD your God,

    1God’s Promised Rest Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it.

    2For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith.

    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.
