Deuteronomy 5:25-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

25. And so then why shall we die, for this great fire will consume us if we continue to hear the voice of Yahweh our God any longer, and so we shall die?

26. For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire as we have heard it and remained alive?

27. You go near and hear everything that Yahweh our God will say; and then you tell us all that Yahweh our God tells you, and we will listen, and we will do it.’

28. “And Yahweh heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, and Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people that they have spoken to you; they are right with respect to all that they have spoken.

29. If only they had such a mind’; that is, to fear me and to keep all my commandments at all times, so that it will go well for them and for their children forever.

30. Go! Say to them, “Return to your tents.”
