Jeremiah 5:22-24

New Century Version

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.
²³ But the people of Judah are stubborn and have turned against me.
    They have turned aside and gone away from me.
²⁴ They do not say to themselves,
    ‘We should fear the Lord our God,
who gives us autumn and spring rains in their seasons,
    who makes sure we have the harvest at the right time.’
