20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob
And proclaim it in Judah, saying,
21 ‘Now hear this, you foolish and [a]senseless people,
Who have (A)eyes but do not see,
Who have ears but do not hear.
22 Do you not (B)fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have (C)placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal limit, and it will not cross over it.
Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, they will not cross over it.

  1. Jeremiah 5:21 Lit without heart

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.
