Exodus 20:18-22
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 20

18And all the people were watching and hearing the thunder and the lightning flashes, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it all, they trembled and stood at a distance. 19Then they said to Moses, 'Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but do not have God speak to us, or we will die!' 20However, Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you will not sin.' 21So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
22Then the Lord said to Moses, 'This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
King James Version

Chapter 20

18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 22And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

20Moses responded to the people, "Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you will fear him and will not sin." 21And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the total darkness where God was.
22Then the Lord told Moses, "This is what you are to say to the Israelites: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
