Jeremiah 5:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ ‘Now hear this, O foolish and ^[a]senseless people,
Who have ^(A)eyes but do not see;
Who have ears but do not hear.
²² ‘Do you not ^(B)fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have ^(C)placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it.
Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.
²³ ‘But this people has a ^(D)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed.
