In context

23 And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,

24 and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.

25 But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.

26 For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?

27 Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”
