How Israel failed.

.saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not youi- hearts, as in the
provocation, like as in the day of the
temptation in the wilderness,
9 Wherewith yonr fathers tempted
vie by proving itie, aud saw my works
forty yeans.
10 Wlierefore T was displeased with
this generation, and said. They doalway
err in their heart ; hut they did not
know my ways ;
11 As I sware in my wrath. They
shall not enter into my rest.
The Need of Perseverance.
Chap. iii. 7 iv. 13.
12 Take heed, brethren, lest haply
there shall be in any one of you an evil
heart" of unbelief, in falling away from
the living God -^ :
13 But exhort one another day by
day, so long as it is called To-day ;
lest
come short of the promised Rest.

deceitfulness of sin

Israel's Unbelief and
Disobedience.
It) For who, when they heard, did
provoke? nay, did not all they that
came out of Egypt by Moses?
17 And with whom w;i.s h^; displeased
I'orty years ? was it not with them that
sinned, whose carcases fell in the
wilderness ?
15 And to whom sware he that they
should not enter into his re.st, but to
them that were disobedient?
19 And we see that they were not
able to enter in because of unbelief.
CHAPTEE IV.
By Faith we enter the Rest.
T ET us fear therefore, lest hajdy, a
'-'
promise being left of entering into
his rest, any one of you shouhl seem
to have come short of it.
2 For indeed we have had good
tidings preached unto us, even as
also they: but the word of hearing did
not prolit them, because they were
not united by faith with them that
heard.
3 For we which have believed do
enter into that rest ; even as he hath
said, As I sware in my wrath, they
shall not enter into my rest :
although
the works were finished from the
foundation of the world.
Joshua did not bring the People
into the Rest of God.
4 For he hath said somewhere of the
seventh thti/ on this wise, And God rested
on the seventh day from all his works ;
5 And in this 2)lace again. They
shall not enter into my re.st.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that
some .should enter thereinto, and they
to whom the good tidings were before
jireached failed to enter in because of
disobedience,
7 He again defineth a certain day,
saying in Pavid, after .so long a time,
To-day, as it liath l)een before said,
To-day if ye sliall hear his voice,
Harden not vour hearts.
