33. Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you heard, and live?
34. Or has God ever tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
