When you heard the voice coming out of the darkness,
as the mountain blazed with fire, you came to me,
all the heads of your tribes and your leaders, and said,
'Here, ADONAI our God has shown us his glory and his greatness!
We have heard his voice coming from the fire, and we have seen today
that God does speak with human beings, and they stay alive.
But why should we keep risking death? This great fire will consume us!
If we hear the voice of ADONAI our God any more, we will die!
For who is there of all humanity that has heard the voice of the living God
speaking from the fire, as we have, and stayed alive?
