We should not test the Messiah, as some of them did. They were killed by snakes.

亦毋試主、如若輩中所為者、以致喪命於虺蛇也。

We should not test Christ, as some of them did— and were killed by snakes.

We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents,

Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites.

Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes.

Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and were killed by the snakes.

nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;

Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

And let us not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes.

Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

So they spoke against God and against Moses. They said,“ Why have you brought us up out of Egypt? Do you want us to die here in the desert? We don’t have any bread! We don’t have any water! And we hate this awful food!”Then the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the Israelites. The snakes bit them. Many of the people died.

They were stubborn and tested God. They ordered him to give them the food they wanted.

But they tested God. They refused to obey the Most High God. They didn’t keep his laws.

Moses called the place Massah and Meribah. That’s because the people of Israel argued with him there. They also tested the Lord. They asked,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

So they argued with Moses. They said,“ Give us water to drink.” Moses replied,“ Why are you arguing with me? Why are you testing the Lord?”

If you hear it, don’t be stubborn. You were stubborn when you opposed me. You did that when you were tested in the desert.There your people of long ago tested me. Yet for 40 years they saw what I did.That is why I was angry with them. I said,‘ Their hearts are always going astray. They have not known my ways.’So when I was angry, I made a promise. I said,‘ They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.’ ”( Psalm 95:7–11)

Don’t test the Lord your God as you did at Massah.

In the desert they longed for food. In that dry and empty land they tested God.

There your people of long ago really tested me. They did it even though they had seen what I had done for them.

Suppose someone did not obey the law of Moses. And suppose two or three witnesses made charges against them. That person would die without mercy.People who deserve even more punishment include those who have hated the Son of God. They include people who have said no to him. They include people who have treated as unholy the blood of the covenant that makes them holy. They also include people who have disrespected the Holy Spirit who brings God’s grace. Don’t you think people like this should be punished more than anyone else?We know the God who said,“ I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back.”( Deuteronomy 32:35) Scripture also says,“ The Lord will judge his people.”( Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14)

“ I am sending an angel ahead of you. He will guard you along the way. He will bring you to the place I have prepared.Pay attention to him. Listen to what he says. Do not refuse to obey him. He will not forgive you if you turn against him. He has my full authority.
