Hebrews 3:9. When; rather ‘where,' a common meaning of the Greek word.

Tempted me, proved me. The true reading is, ‘tempted me in' (or by) ‘proving' [me]. Strong passion is some excuse for sin. When men tempt God to try how far they may go, and how much He will bear, there is a shamelessness in their state of heart that is without excuse.

And saw my works. Either the punishment God inflicted, which failed to lead them to repentance (as the word is used in Psalms 64:10; Isaiah 5:12), or my mighty works, punishment in part, but chiefly mercy, and disregarding both they became the more guilty.
