Deuteronomy 5:22-25

Leeser(i) 22 (5:19) These words did the Lord speak unto all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, but he did so no more; and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them unto me. 23 (5:20) And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mount was burning with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 24 (5:21) And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath caused us to see his glory and his greatness, and his voice have we heard out of the midst of the fire: this day have we seen that God can speak with man, who nevertheless may live. 25 (5:22) But now why should we die? for this great fire may consume us; if we continue to hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then shall we die.
