WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED ME BY TESTING [My forbearance and tolerance],
AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS
[And found I stood their test].
“THEREFORE I WAS ANGERED WITH THIS GENERATION,
AND I SAID, ‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART,
AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS [nor become progressively better and more intimately acquainted with them]’;
“TODAY [while there is still opportunity] IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].”
For who were they who heard and yet provoked Him [with rebellious acts]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
