Hebrews 3:8 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 3.

4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.

6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,

8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.

10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’

11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”

12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
