¹⁷ For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: Therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the Passover lambs for everyone that was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD. ¹⁸ For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the Passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "The good LORD pardon every one ¹⁹ That prepares his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

⁵ And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

³ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. ⁴ And He answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with a change of apparel."

¹¹ And such were some of you: But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

¹⁴ And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are those which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁸ and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and a large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

¹⁸ And Mount Sinai was altogether raging smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: And its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

²⁰ And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: And the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

⁵ And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

¹⁷ And I will come down and talk with you there: And I will take of the spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you bear it not yourself alone.

² And he said, "The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: From his right hand went a fiery law for them.

⁹ He bowed the heavens also, and came down: And darkness was under His feet.

⁵ Bow Your heavens, O LORD, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

¹ Oh that You would rend heaven, that You would come down, that the mountains might flow down at Your presence, ² as when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

³ God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. ⁴ And His brightness was as the light; He had horns coming out of His hand: And there was the hiding of His power. ⁵ Before Him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at His feet. ⁶ He stood, and measured the earth: He beheld, and drove apart the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills bowed down: His ways are everlasting.

¹³ And no man has ascended up to heaven, except He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven.

³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.

²⁸ And Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me, take heed to yourself, see my face no more; for in that day you see my face you shall die."

²¹ And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, solemnly warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

²³ And Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai: For you solemnly warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mount, and sanctify it.' "

¹² Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you go, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:

⁴ And command you the people, saying, "You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: Take you good heed to yourselves therefore:

⁴ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: Come not near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go: For you have not passed this way heretofore.

²⁰ (For they could not endure that which was commanded, "And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart": ²¹ And so frightful was the sight, that Moses said, "I exceedingly fear and tremble:")

¹⁹ And when the sound of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

²⁸ If an ox gores a man or a woman, that they die: Then the ox shall surely be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be left unpunished. ²⁹ But if the ox was known to push with his horn in time past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not kept him in, but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner shall also be put to death.

¹⁵ And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: And you shall slay the beast. ¹⁶ And if a woman approach to any beast, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them.

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

¹⁶ For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: And the dead in Christ shall rise first.

²⁰ (For they could not endure that which was commanded, "And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart":

¹⁰ And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes, ¹¹ and be ready against the third day: For the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.

⁴ And the priest answered David, and said, "There is no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have at least kept themselves from women." ⁵ And David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us for about three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yes, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel."

¹⁶ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: Let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her room.

¹² "Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel: And because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel."

³ and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled gray and reddish-brown horses.

³ and to speak to the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done for so many years?"

¹² And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; ¹³ the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; ¹⁴ all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart."

² "But who may abide the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

¹⁰ And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees: Therefore every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is hewed down, and cast into the fire. ¹¹ I indeed baptize you with water as to repentance: But He that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry: He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: ¹² Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the granary; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

⁴⁴ Therefore you also be ready: For the Son of Man comes at such an hour that you do not think.

⁵ Do not defraud one another, except if it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan does not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

¹¹ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you be in all holy conversation and godliness, ¹² looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

²³ And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: And the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

²⁸ Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer." ²⁹ And Moses said to him, "As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know how that the earth is the LORD's.

⁹ And the LORD said to Moses, "Look, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

¹⁸ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: And when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

³⁴ Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

¹⁷ Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call to the LORD, and He shall send thunder and rain; that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for yourselves a king." ¹⁸ So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: And all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

¹⁴ so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: For the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

¹ At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place. ² Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth. ³ He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. ⁴ After it a voice roars: He thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. ⁵ God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.

²⁵ Who has divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

¹¹ He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion all around Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. ¹² At the brightness that was before Him, His thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. ¹³ The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave His voice; hail stones and coals of fire. ¹⁴ Yes, He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot out lightning, and discomfited them.

³ The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: The God of glory thunders: The LORD is upon many waters. ⁴ The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. ⁵ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. ⁶ He also makes them to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. ⁷ The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. ⁸ The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. ⁹ The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: And in His temple every one speaks of His glory. ¹⁰ The LORD sits upon the flood; yes, the LORD sits King forever. ¹¹ The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.

³ Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: A fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

¹⁸ The voice of Your thunder was in the heaven: The lightning lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.

⁴ His lightnings enlightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.

²² Do you not fear me?' said the LORD: 'will you not tremble at My presence, who has placed the sand as the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it?: And though the waves of it toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it?

¹⁸ For you have not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and darkness, and tempest, ¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice those that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them anymore:

²¹ And so frightful was the sight, that Moses said, "I exceedingly fear and tremble:")

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

¹ After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: And the first voice which I heard was as if a trumpet was talking with me; which said, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must be in time to come."

⁵ And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices: And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

⁵ And the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it into the earth: And there were voices, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

¹⁹ Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His testament was seen in His temple: And there were lightnings, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and large hail.

¹⁰ specially the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear My words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.

⁵ (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: For you were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount); saying,

¹⁷ And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

²⁸ And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

² And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush: And he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

¹³ A hand shall not touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it is beast or man, it shall not live': When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount."

¹⁷ And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

²² These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly in the mount out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: And he added no more. And he wrote them in two tablets of stone, and delivered them to me.

⁵ The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

¹¹ And he said, "Go forth, and stand on the mount before the LORD. And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: And after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: ¹² And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: And after the fire a still small voice.

¹ Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. ² And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house. ³ And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and praised the LORD, saying, "For he is good; for his mercy endures forever.

⁷ O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You marched through the wilderness; Selah: ⁸ The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: Even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

³² He looks on the earth, and it trembles: He touches the hills, and they smoke.

⁷ Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

⁴ And the posts of the door moved at the voice of Him who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

²⁴ I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

⁵ The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at His presence, yes, the world, and all that dwell in it. ⁶ Who can stand before His indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by Him.abide: In Hebrew, stand up

⁵ "And you all shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal: Yes, you all shall flee, like you all fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah": And the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with You.

⁷ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places.

⁸ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those that do not know God, and that do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁸ For you have not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

²⁶ Whose voice then shook the earth: But now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also, and the works that are in it shall be burned up.

⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

¹³ You came down also upon Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

⁷ You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

³ And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

¹² And the LORD said to Moses, "Come up into the mount to Me, and be there: And I will give you tablets of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that you may teach them." ¹³ And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: And Moses went up into the mount of God.

¹⁸ And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and got himself up into the mount: And Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

⁴ And he hewed two tablets of stone like the first ones; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tablets of stone.

⁹ When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread nor drink water:

³ And Moses said, "I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."

⁵ And he said, "Do not draw near here: Put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground."

¹² And you shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves, that you do not go up into the mount, or touch the border of it: Whoever touches the mount shall surely be put to death: ¹³ A hand shall not touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it is beast or man, it shall not live': When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount."

²⁰ And He said, "You cannot see My face: For there no man shall see Me, and live."

¹⁹ And He smote the men of Beth-Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, He even smote from the people fifty thousand and seventy men: And the people lamented, because the LORD had smote many of the people with a great slaughter.

¹ Keep your foot when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: For they do not consider that they do evil.

²⁸ Therefore, we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: ²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

⁵ Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice, and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all people: For all the earth is Mine:

⁵ And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. ² And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. ³ Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is it that the LORD spoke, saying, "I will be sanctified in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

⁶ And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. ⁷ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. ⁸ And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach on Uzzah: And he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

⁹ And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. ¹⁰ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: And there he died before God. ¹¹ And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach on Uzza: Why that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

¹³ For because you did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach on us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

³ For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

¹⁵ Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: And the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

¹¹ Depart all of you, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go out of the midst of her; be clean, you who bear the vessels of the LORD.

⁵ Now Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost: Therefore great fear came on all those that heard these things.

¹⁰ Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

³⁰ For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many deceased. ³¹ For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. ³² But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

¹² And you shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves, that you do not go up into the mount, or touch the border of it: Whoever touches the mount shall surely be put to death:

⁴ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: Come not near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go: For you have not passed this way heretofore. ⁵ And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: For tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

²¹ And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, solemnly warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. ²² And also let the priests, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them."

¹ And he said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship afar off.

⁹ Then Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up:

¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

²⁴ "Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: For many, I say to you, Will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

¹⁶ The Law and the prophets were until John: Since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ Because the law works wrath: For where no law is, there is no transgression.

⁷ But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away with: ⁸ How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? ⁹ For if the ministration of condemnation is glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. ¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: For it is written, "Cursed is everyone that does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them." ¹¹ But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident: For, "The just shall live by faith."

¹⁹ What justice then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

²² But the scripture has concluded all are under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those that believe.

¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; ²¹ and having a High Priest over the house of God; ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

¹⁸ For you have not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and darkness, and tempest, ¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice those that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them anymore: ²⁰ (For they could not endure that which was commanded, "And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart": ²¹ And so frightful was the sight, that Moses said, "I exceedingly fear and tremble:") ²² But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel. ²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him that speaks. For if those who refused 'Him that spoke on earth' did not escape, much more we shall not escape, if we turn away from Him that speaks from heaven:

²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.
