Hebrews 12:26

At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”

Majority Standard Bible

In The King James Version

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

In Context

25See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?

27The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
