20 “Announce this message to the family of Jacob,
    and tell it to the nation of Judah:
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.

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.
