greatness, we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire, and
have proved this day that God speaking with man, man hath lived.
5:25. Why shall we die therefore, and why shall this exceeding great
fire comsume us: for if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more,

5:26. What is all flesh, that it should hear the voice of the living
God, who speaketh out of the midst of the fire, as we have heard, and be

5:27. Approach thou rather: and hear all things that the Lord our God
shall say to thee, and thou shalt speak to us, and we will hear and will
