Jeremiah 5:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² Do you have no fear of me? asks the Lord.
    Do you not tremble before me?
I was the one who established the sand
    as the boundary for the sea,
    a perpetual barrier that it can never pass.
Its waves may rise up but cannot prevail;
    they may roar but cannot cross the limits.
²³ But this people has a rebellious and stubborn heart;
    they have risen up in defiance and gone away.
²⁴ Nor do they say to themselves,
    “Let us fear the Lord, our God,
who gives us in their proper season
    the autumn and spring rains
and unfailingly provides for us
    the weeks designated for the harvest.”
