Deuteronomy 5:25-29
5:25 But now, why should we die, because this intense fire will consume us! If we keep hearing the voice of the Lord our God we will die!
5:26 Who is there from the entire human race 1 who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the middle of the fire as we have, and has lived?
5:27 You go near so that you can hear everything the Lord our God is saying and then you can tell us whatever he 2 says to you; then we will pay attention and do it.”
5:28 When the Lord heard you speaking to me, he 3 said to me, “I have heard what these people have said to you – they have spoken well.
5:29 If only it would really be their desire to fear me and obey 4 all my commandments in the future, so that it may go well with them and their descendants forever.
