Hebrews
Hebrews quotes, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts” while recalling Israel’s wilderness testing (Hebrews 3:7–15). It uses “today” to press the urgency of responding to God’s voice. The passage connects hardening the heart with unbelief and disobedience.
7Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
8Don`t harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
9Where your fathers tested me by proving me, And saw my works for forty years.
10Therefore I was displeased with that generation, And said, `They always err in their heart, But they didn`t know my ways;`
11As I swore in my wrath, `They will not enter into my rest.`"
12Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there will be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
13but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, Don`t harden your hearts, as in the provocation."
