Hebrews 12:19

17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.

18 For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;

to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.

20 For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”

21 The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
