And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; / And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

Hebrews 4:5:
And again in the passage above he says, 'They shall never enter my rest.'
(NIV)
And [they forfeited their part in it, for] in this [passage] He said, They shall not enter My rest. [Ps. 95:11.](AMP)
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
(KJV)
