20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob
And proclaim it in Judah, saying,
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.

  1. Jeremiah 5:21 Lit without heart

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.
