Verse in context — Deuteronomy 4
When you are in oppression, and all these things are come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, and listen to his voice:

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
