New American Standard Bible
19 And He said, “(A)I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and (B)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.” 20 He further said, “You cannot see My face, (C)for mankind shall not see Me and live!” 21 Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place [a]by Me, and (D)you shall stand there on the rock; 22 and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and (E)cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but (F)My face shall not be seen.”

19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(A) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(B) the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.(C) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(D) me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock(E) and cover you with my hand(F) until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
