But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the LORD had said.

"Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He did mighty things among them, did they not let the people go, that they might depart?

"But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more [shall we not escape] if we turn away from Him who [speaks] from heaven,

Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, "Give us water, that we may drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you contend with me? Why do you tempt the LORD?"

So he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"

Then the LORD said to Moses: "How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them?

"because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice,

"How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me.

This [was] the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the LORD, and He was hallowed among them.

" And the LORD heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and took an oath, saying,

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

" You shall not tempt the LORD your God as you tempted [Him] in Massah.

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,

Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years.

while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

Now with whom was He angry forty years? [Was it] not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
