Deuteronomy 5:23-27

English Standard Version

²³ And ^(A)as soon as you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders. ²⁴ And you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and ^(B)greatness, and ^(C)we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen God speak with man, and man ^(D)still live. ²⁵ Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. ^(E)If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we shall die. ^26 (F)For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we have, and has still lived? ²⁷ Go near and hear all that the Lord our God will say, and ^(G)speak to us all that the Lord our God will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.’
