(Heb 3:10 NKJV) Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart,.
(Heb 3:19 NKJV) could not enter in because of unbelief.
(Heb 4:2 NKJV) For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

(Heb 3:11 NKJV) So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.'"
(Heb 3:12 NKJV) Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
(Heb 3:13 NKJV) but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

(Heb 3:15 NKJV) while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
(Heb 3:16 NKJV) For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
(Heb 3:17 NKJV) Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
(Heb 3:18 NKJV) And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
