30 “When you are in distress and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you will return to Adonai your God and listen to His voice.
31 For Adonai your God is a merciful God. He will not abandon you or destroy you, or forget the covenant with your fathers that He swore to them.
32 “Indeed, ask now about the former days that were before you, from the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of the sky to the other. Has there ever been such a great thing as this, or has anything like it been heard?
33 Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard—and lived?
34 Or has any god ever tried to come to take for himself a nation from within a nation—by trials, by signs and wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—like all that Adonai your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 You were shown, so that you might know that Adonai is God—there is no other besides Him.
36 From the heavens He made you hear His voice to instruct you, and on earth He caused you to see His great fire—you heard His words from the midst of the fire.
