Deuteronomy 5:25-29
New American Standard Bible
25 (A)Now then, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, then we will die! 26 For (B)who is there of [a]humanity who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27 [b]Go near and listen to everything that the Lord our God says; then speak to us everything that the Lord our God speaks to you, and we will listen and do it.’
28 “Now the Lord heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, (C)and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. 29 (D)If only they had such a heart in them, to fear Me and (E)keep all My commandments always, so that (F)it would go well with them and with their sons forever!

25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer.(A) 26 For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?(B) 27 Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says.(C) Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”(D)
28 The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you.

Deuteronomy 5:25-29
King James Version
25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
