20 For they could not endure what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
21 And the spectacle was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of angels, to the festal gathering
23 and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous people made perfect,
24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than Abel’s does.
25 Watch out that you do not refuse the one who is speaking! For if those did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, much less will we escape, if we reject the one who warns from heaven,
26 whose voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.”
