Jeremiah 5:22-24

King James Version

²²Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

²³But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

²⁴Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

New King James Version

²²^(A)Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord.
‘Will you not tremble at My presence,
Who have placed the sand as the ^(B)bound of the sea,
By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it?
And though its waves toss to and fro,
Yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
²³But this people has a defiant and rebellious heart;
They have revolted and departed.
²⁴They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
^(C)Who gives rain, both the ^(D)former and the latter, in its season.
^(E)He reserves for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.”

²²Should you not fear^(A) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble^(B) in my presence?

    they may roar,^(D) but they cannot cross it.
²³But these people have stubborn and rebellious^(E) hearts;
    they have turned aside^(F) and gone away.
²⁴They do not say to themselves,
    ‘Let us fear^(G) the Lord our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains^(H) in season,
    who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’^(I)
