⁷ Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

⁷ For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!

⁸ Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.

¹⁰ Forty years long was I grieved with `that' generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:

¹¹ Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest.

¹⁵ while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

³ Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

¹³ Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

⁷ he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

¹¹ But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.

¹³ but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

² The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me, And his word was upon my tongue.

¹ And working together `with him' we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

² (for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation):

³ To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

⁵ While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

²¹ For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

⁸ the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near:

⁴³ He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

²⁵ And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,

¹³ Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:

¹⁴ whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

¹⁵ For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.

¹⁰ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do `it' with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, whither thou goest.

¹ Boast not thyself of tomorrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

¹⁶ Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

³⁶ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
