22 Do you not revere me?” declares[a] Yahweh,
    “Do you not tremble before me?[b]
For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
    as an everlasting limit,[c] and it cannot pass over it,
and they rise and fall loudly, but they cannot prevail,
    and its waves roar, but they cannot pass over it.
23 But for this people is a stubborn and rebellious heart,
    they have turned aside and have gone away.
24 And they do not say in their hearts,
    ‘Let us fear please Yahweh our God,
the one who gives the autumn rain[d] and the spring rain[e] in its season,
    the set times of the harvest[f] he keeps for us.’
