So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?

As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

So in my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”

And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?

So I swore in my anger, “They will not enter my rest.”  

And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who disobeyed?

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

Now, if we can only keep a firm grip on this bold confidence, we’re the house! That’s why the Holy Spirit says, Today, please listen; don’t turn a deaf ear as in “the bitter uprising,” that time of wilderness testing! Even though they watched me at work for forty years, your ancestors refused to let me do it my way; over and over they tried my patience. And I was provoked, oh, so provoked! I said, “They’ll never keep their minds on God; they refuse to walk down my road.” Exasperated, I vowed, “They’ll never get where they’re going, never be able to sit down and rest.”

For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren’t they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt? And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn’t it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness? And when he swore that they’d never get where they were going, wasn’t he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear? They never got there because they never listened, never believed.

AS I SWORE IN MY ANGER, ‘THEY CERTAINLY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’ ”

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

SO I SWORE [an oath] IN MY WRATH, ‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST [the promised land].’ ” [Ps 95:7-11]

And to whom did He swear [an oath] that they would not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [those who would not listen to His word]?

“ As I swore in my anger , ‘ They will never enter my rest! ’”

And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
