When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 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 middle of the fire.
We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
Now therefore, why should we die?
For this great fire will consume us.
If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
