24. You said, "The Lord our God has shown us his glory and majesty. We have heard his voice coming out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can still stay alive even if God speaks with him.
25. But why should we die? This great fire will burn us up. We'll die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God again.
26. "We have heard the voice of the living God. We've heard him speaking out of the fire. Has any other human being ever heard him speak like that and stayed alive?
27. Go near and listen to everything the Lord our God says. Then tell us what he tells you. We will listen and obey."
