Hebrews 12:19-24

19and to the 1blast of a trumpet and the 2sound of words, which sound was such that those who heard 3begged that no further word be spoken to them. 20For they could not 4cope with the command, “5If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “6I am terrified and trembling.” 22But 7you have come to Mount Zion and to 8the city of 9the living God, 10the heavenly Jerusalem, and to 11myriads of 12angels, 23to the general assembly and 13church of the firstborn who 14are enrolled in heaven, and to God, 15the Judge of all, and to the 16spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24and to Jesus, the 17mediator of a new covenant, and to the 18sprinkled blood, which speaks better than 19the blood of Abel.
