Hebrews 3:8
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מְפַחֵד תָּמִיד וּמַקְשֶׁה לִבּוֹ יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָֽה׃
Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם מַסָּה וּמְרִיבָה עַל-רִיב׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל נַסֹּתָם אֶת-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר הֲיֵשׁ יְהוָה בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ אִם-אָֽיִן׃
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
ἐπαχύνθη γὰρ ἡ καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν βαρέως ἤκουσαν καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάμμυσαν μήποτε ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν ἀκούσωσιν καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ συνῶσιν καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἰάσωμαι αὐτούς
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
וַיְמָאֲנוּ לְהַקְשִׁיב וַיִּתְּנוּ כָתֵף סֹרָרֶת וְאָזְנֵיהֶם הִכְבִּידוּ מִשְּׁמֽוֹעַ׃
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
וּבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יֹאבוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ אֵלֶיךָ כִּֽי-אֵינָם אֹבִים לִשְׁמֹעַ אֵלָי כִּי כָּל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל חִזְקֵי-מֵצַח וּקְשֵׁי-לֵב הֵֽמָּה׃
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
וְלוֹא שָׁמְעוּ אֵלַי וְלֹא הִטּוּ אֶת-אָזְנָם וַיַּקְשׁוּ אֶת-עָרְפָּם הֵרֵעוּ מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם׃
Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
וּכְדִי רִם לִבְבֵהּ וְרוּחֵהּ תִּֽקְפַת לַהֲזָדָה הָנְחַת מִן-כָּרְסֵא מַלְכוּתֵהּ וִֽיקָרָה הֶעְדִּיוּ מִנֵּֽהּ׃
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
וַיְנַסּוּ-אֵל בִּלְבָבָם לִֽשְׁאָל-אֹכֶל לְנַפְשָֽׁם׃
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
וַיְנַסּוּ וַיַּמְרוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהִים עֶלְיוֹן וְעֵדוֹתָיו לֹא שָׁמָֽרוּ׃
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
חֲכַם לֵבָב וְאַמִּיץ כֹּחַ מִֽי-הִקְשָׁה אֵלָיו וַיִּשְׁלָֽם׃
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
אִישׁ תּוֹכָחוֹת מַקְשֶׁה-עֹרֶף פֶּתַע יִשָּׁבֵר וְאֵין מַרְפֵּֽא׃
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
וַיַּרְא פַּרְעֹה כִּי הָֽיְתָה הָֽרְוָחָה וְהַכְבֵּד אֶת-לִבּוֹ וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֲלֵהֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָֽה׃
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Βλέπετε ἀδελφοί μήποτε ἔσται ἔν τινι ὑμῶν καρδία πονηρὰ ἀπιστίας ἐν τῷ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ζῶντος
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
וּבְתַבְעֵרָה וּבְמַסָּה וּבְקִבְרֹת הַֽתַּאֲוָה מַקְצִפִים הֱיִיתֶם אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
וְגַם בַּמֶּלֶךְ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מָרָד אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁבִּיעוֹ בֵּֽאלֹהִים וַיֶּקֶשׁ אֶת-עָרְפּוֹ וַיְאַמֵּץ אֶת-לְבָבוֹ מִשּׁוּב אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
לֹא תְנַסּוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִסִּיתֶם בַּמַּסָּֽה׃
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
וַיִּתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ-אֵל בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן׃
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
וְהֵם וַֽאֲבֹתֵינוּ הֵזִידוּ וַיַּקְשׁוּ אֶת-עָרְפָּם וְלֹא שָֽׁמְעוּ אֶל-מִצְוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
κατὰ δὲ τὴν σκληρότητά σου καὶ ἀμετανόητον καρδίαν θησαυρίζεις σεαυτῷ ὀργὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως δικαιοκρισίας τοῦ θεοῦ
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
וְלָמָּה תְכַבְּדוּ אֶת-לְבַבְכֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר כִּבְּדוּ מִצְרַיִם וּפַרְעֹה אֶת-לִבָּם הֲלוֹא כַּֽאֲשֶׁר הִתְעַלֵּל בָּהֶם וַֽיְשַׁלְּחוּם וַיֵּלֵֽכוּ׃
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
