Deuteronomy 5:24-26
Contemporary English Version
24 and said:
Today the Lord our God has shown us how powerful and glorious he is. He spoke to us from the fire, and we learned that people can live, even though God speaks to them. 25 But we don't want to take a chance on being killed by that terrible fire, and if we keep on hearing the Lord's voice, we will die. 26 Has anyone else ever heard the only true God speaking from fire, as we have? And even if they have, would they live to tell about it?

Deuteronomy 5:24-26
New International Version
24 And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us(A) his glory and his majesty,(B) and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.(C) 25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer.(D) 26 For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?(E)
