Deuteronomy 5:23-25

Revised Geneva Translation

²³ “And when you heard the Voice out of the midst of the darkness (for the mountain burned with fire), then you came to me, all the chiefs of your tribes, and your elders,

²⁴ “and you said, ‘Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His Glory and His greatness. And we have heard His Voice out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God talks with man, and he lives.

²⁵ ‘Now, therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us if we hear the Voice of the LORD our God anymore. We shall die.
