Jeremiah 5:21-23

New Century Version

²¹ Hear this message, you foolish people who have no sense.
    They have eyes, but they don’t really see.
    They have ears, but they don’t really listen.
²² Surely you are afraid of me,” says the Lord.
    “You should shake with fear in my presence.
I am the one who made the beaches to be a border for the sea,
    a border the water can never go past.
The waves may pound the beach, but they can’t win over it.
    They may roar, but they cannot go beyond it.
²³ But the people of Judah are stubborn and have turned against me.
    They have turned aside and gone away from me.
