Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to give unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:

Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

And the LORD heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers,

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

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

For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

And in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Thus says the LORD, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.

Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.

Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for your people are as they that strive with the priest.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: because you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit harlotry, and shall not increase: because they have ceased to obey the LORD.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on: Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.
