Exodus 20:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw it they fled and stood at a distance,

¹⁹ and said to Moses, “Talk with us and we will hear! But do not let God talk with us, lest we die!”

²⁰ Then Moses said to the people, “Do not fear. For God has come to test you, and to lay His fear before you, so that you do not sin.”
