20 Tell this message to the descendants of Jacob.
    Shout it everywhere in Judah.
21 Tell them, “Hear this message,
    you foolish and stupid people.
You have eyes, but you do not see properly.
    You have ears, but you do not hear properly.” ’
22 The Lord says, ‘You should respect me and obey me.
    You should shake with fear when you come to me.
I made the sand as an edge for the sea.
    It is like a wall that the sea cannot cross.
The sea's waves may attack the shore,
    but it cannot go further than that edge.

20 “Announce this to the descendants of Jacob
    and proclaim(A) it in Judah:
21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,(B)
    who have eyes(C) but do not see,
    who have ears but do not hear:(D)
22 Should you not fear(E) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble(F) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,(G)
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar,(H) but they cannot cross it.
