Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in {their} heart; and they have not known my ways.

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) {They...: Gr. If they shall enter}

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
