SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:10
A causa de lo cual me enemist con esta generacin, y dije: Siempre yerran ellos de corazn, y no han conocido mis caminos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 3:10
Verse 10. Wherefore I was grieved] God represents himself as the Father of this great Jewish family, for whose comfort and support he had made every necessary provision, and to whom he had given every proof of tenderness and fatherly affection; and because, they disobeyed him, and walked ill that way in which they could not but be miserable, therefore he represents himself as grieved and exceedingly displeased with them. They do alway err in their hearts] Their affections are set on earthly things, and they do not acknowledge my ways to be right - holy, just, and good. They are radically evil; and they are evil, continually. They have every proof, of my power and goodness, and lay nothing to heart. They might have been saved, but they would not. God was grieved on this account. Now, can we suppose that it would have grieved him if, by a decree of his own, he had rendered their salvation impossible?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation , etc..] rbdmh rwd , the generation of the wilderness, as the Jews often call them; and which they say was more beloved than any generation f52 ; and yet they will not allow them a part in the world to come; (see Gill on Hebrews 3:11). When God is said to be grieved with them, it is to be considered as an anthropopathy, as speaking after the manner of men, as in ( Genesis 6:5,6). The word signifies, that he was wearied by them, and weary of them; that he loathed them, and was displeased with them; it shows the notice God took of their sin; the heinousness of it, his displicency at it, and determination to punish it: the cause of his grief and indignation were their unbelief, ingratitude, and idolatry: and said, they do alway err in their heart ; all sins are errors, or aberrations from the law of God; all men err in this sense: these people erred in their hearts, for there is error in the understanding, and will, and affections, as well as in life and actions; and they may be said to err in their hearts, because their sins not only sprung from the heart, but they were done heartily, or with their hearts, and that continually; which shows the sottishness of this people: their stubbornness and rebellion; their want of integrity, and their constancy in sinning: heart sins, as well as others, are taken notice of by God: and they have not known my ways ; they did not take notice of God's ways of providence towards them; nor did they approve of, and delight in his ways of worship and duty, or in his commands.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-13 - Days of temptation are often days of provocation. But to provoke God when he is letting us see that we entirely depend and live upon him, in a provocation indeed. The hardening of the heart is the spring of all other sins. The sins of others, especially of our relations, should be warnings to us. All sin, especially sin committed by God's professing privileged people, not only provokes God, but it grieves him. God is loth to destroy any in, or for their sin; he waits long to be graciou to them. But sin, long persisted in, will make God's wrath discove itself in destroying the impenitent; there is no resting under the wrath of God. "Take heed:" all who would get safe to heaven must loo about them; if once we allow ourselves to distrust God, we may soo desert him. Let those that think they stand, take heed lest they fall Since to-morrow is not ours, we must make the best improvement of thi day. And there are none, even the strongest of the flock, who do no need help of other Christians. Neither are there any so low an despised, but the care of their standing in the faith, and of their safety, belongs to all. Sin has so many ways and colours, that we nee more eyes than ours own. Sin appears fair, but is vile; it appear pleasant, but is destructive; it promises much, but performs nothing The deceitfulness of sin hardens the soul; one sin allowed makes wa for another; and every act of sin confirms the habit. Let every on beware of sin.

10. Wherefore I was grieved (dio proswcqisa). The Hebrew omits wherefore. It was inserted because of the transfer of forty years to the preceding clause. The verb proswcqisa I was grieved, only here and ver. 17. In LXX for qo, to spue out; gaal, to exclude, reject, abhor; ma'as, to repudiate.
