Deuteronomy 5:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ “You heard the voice from the darkness while the mountain was burning with fire. Then all the elders and the other leaders of your tribes came to me. ²⁴ They said, ‘The Lord our God has shown us his Glory and his greatness! We heard him speak from the fire. We have seen today that it is possible to continue living even after God speaks to us. ²⁵ But if we hear the Lord our God speak to us again, surely we will die! That terrible fire will destroy us. We don’t want to die.
