Deuteronomy 5:25-33

25But 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.

26For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?

27Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says. Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”

28The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good.

29Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!

30“Go, tell them to return to their tents.

31But you stay here with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess.”

32So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left.

33Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
