²¹ And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, ^(A)“I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

¹⁶ Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were ^(A)thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp ^(B)trembled.

³ And one cried to another and said:

⁴ And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁵ So I said:

^19 (A)For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you. ^(B)But the Lord listened to me at that time also.

¹⁹ And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, ^(A)Moses spoke, and ^(B)God answered him by voice.

¹⁷ And ^(A)when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But ^(B)He laid His right hand on me, saying ^[a]to me, “Do not be afraid; ^(C)I am the First and the Last.

¹⁷ For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.”

⁸ Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my ^[a]vigor was turned to ^[b]frailty in me, and I retained no strength.
