⁷ For he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, And the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

⁸ Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

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

¹⁰ Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, And said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."

¹¹ Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."

¹⁵ while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, Don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."

³ Turn your ear, and come to 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 listen to me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

⁷ he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, Don't harden your hearts."

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.

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

¹¹ But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

¹³ but 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.

² The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me, His word was on my tongue.

¹ Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,

² for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, In a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

³ The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

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

⁸ The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn't yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

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

⁶ Seek you Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:

⁴³ He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

²⁵ Most assuredly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.

²⁵ When they didn't agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to our fathers,

¹³ Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
