⁸ “Do not harden your hearts^(A) as you did at Meribah,^[a](B)
    as you did that day at Massah^[b] in the wilderness,^(C)
9 where your ancestors tested^(D) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
¹⁰ For forty years^(E) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,^(F)
    and they have not known my ways.’^(G)
11 So I declared on oath^(H) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”^(I)

²⁴ But since you refuse^(A) to listen when I call^(B)
    and no one pays attention^(C) when I stretch out my hand,
²⁵ since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
²⁶ I in turn will laugh^(D) when disaster^(E) strikes you;
    I will mock^(F) when calamity overtakes you^(G)—
²⁷ when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster^(H) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

²⁸ “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;^(I)
    they will look for me but will not find me,^(J)
29 since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.^(K)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,^(L)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.^(M)

29 Whoever remains stiff-necked^(A) after many rebukes
    will suddenly be destroyed^(B)—without remedy.^(C)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸     do not harden your hearts^(O)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
⁹ where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.^(P)
10 That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
¹¹ So I declared on oath in my anger,^(Q)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ^(R)”^[b](S)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts
    as you did in the rebellion.”^[c](Y)
