← Deuteronomy 5:25	Deuteronomy 5:26 (KJV)	Deuteronomy 5:27 →
Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.	For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?	Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it].
