Jeremiah 5:22 New English Translation
22 ‘You should fear me!’ says the Lord.
‘You should tremble in awe before me![a]
I made the sand to be a boundary for the sea,
a permanent barrier that it can never cross.
Its waves may roll, but they can never prevail.
They may roar, but they can never cross beyond that boundary.’[b]
