When the king saw that the frogs were dead, he became stubborn again and, just as the LORD had said, the king would not listen to Moses and Aaron.

Why should you be stubborn, as the king of Egypt and the Egyptians were? Don't forget how God made fools of them until they let the Israelites leave Egypt.

But because he became proud, stubborn, and cruel, he was removed from his royal throne and lost his place of honor.

But some of them were stubborn and would not believe, and before the whole group they said evil things about the Way of the Lord. So Paul left them and took the believers with him, and every day he held discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

But you have a hard and stubborn heart, and so you are making your own punishment even greater on the Day when God's anger and righteous judgments will be revealed.

Instead, in order that none of you be deceived by sin and become stubborn, you must help one another every day, as long as the word "Today" in the scripture applies to us.

Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape. How much less shall we escape, then, if we turn away from the one who speaks from heaven!

They complained to Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses answered, "Why are you complaining? Why are you putting the LORD to the test?"

The place was named Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites complained and put the LORD to the test when they asked, "Is the LORD with us or not?"

The LORD said to Moses, "How much longer will these people reject me? How much longer will they refuse to trust in me, even though I have performed so many miracles among them?

none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me.

"How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints!

This happened at Meribah, where the people of Israel complained against the LORD and where he showed them that he is holy.

"The LORD heard your complaints and became angry, and so he solemnly declared,

'Not one of you from this evil generation will enter the fertile land that I promised to give your ancestors.

"Do not put the LORD your God to the test, as you did at Massah.

do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God, as they were that day in the desert when they put him to the test.

There they put me to the test and tried me, says God, although they had seen what I did for forty years.

This is what the scripture says: "If you hear God's voice today, do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God."

With whom was God angry for forty years? With the people who sinned, who fell down dead in the desert.

We see, then, that they were not able to enter the land, because they did not believe.

For even though you know all this, I want to remind you of how the Lord once rescued the people of Israel from Egypt, but afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
