English Standard Version

There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

Hebrews 4:9

I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid.

Leviticus 26:6

Hebrews 4 (English Standard Version)

6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,
7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.
9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Leviticus 26 (English Standard Version)

3 “If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them,
4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 Your threshing shall last to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall last to the time for sowing. And you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land securely.
6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will remove harmful beasts from the land, and the sword shall not go through your land.
7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 I will turn to you and make you fruitful and multiply you and will confirm my covenant with you.

A Sabbath rest remains for God's people.

Hebrews 4:9

I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything.

Leviticus 26:6

Hebrews 4 (Free Bible Version)

6 God's rest is still there for some to enter, even though those who previously heard the good news failed to enter because of disobedience.
7 So God again sets a day—today—saying a long time later through David as he did before, “If you hear what God is saying to you today, don't have a hard-hearted attitude.”
8 For if Joshua had been able to give them rest, God wouldn't have spoken later about another day.
9 So a Sabbath rest remains for God's people.
10 For whoever enters God's rest also rests from what he's doing, just as God did.
11 As a result we should try hard to enter that rest so nobody falls through following the same bad example of disobedience.
12 For God's word is alive and effective, sharper than any twin-edged sword, so penetrating it separates life and breath, bone joints and their marrow, judging the thoughts and intentions of the mind.
