Jeremiah 5:20-25
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 5:20-25
English Standard Version
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob;
proclaim it in Judah:
21 “Hear this, (A)O foolish and senseless people,
(B)who have eyes, but see not,
who have ears, but hear not.
22 (C)Do you not fear me? declares the Lord.
Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand (D)as the boundary for the sea,
a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
though (E)they roar, they cannot pass over it.
23 (F)But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart;
they have turned aside and gone away.
24 They do not say in their hearts,
‘Let us fear the Lord our God,
(G)who gives the rain in its season,
the autumn rain and the spring rain,
and keeps for us
(H)the weeks appointed for the harvest.’
25 (I)Your iniquities have turned these away,
and your sins have kept good from you.

21 Hear this, O foolish and senseless people,
who have eyes but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear.(A)
22 Do you not fear me? says the Lord;
Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
though they roar, they cannot pass over it.(B)
23 But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart;
they have turned aside and gone away.(C)
24 They do not say in their hearts,
“Let us fear the Lord our God,
who gives the rain in its season,
the autumn rain and the spring rain,
and keeps for us
the weeks appointed for the harvest.”(D)
25 Your iniquities have turned these away,
and your sins have deprived you of good.(E)

Jeremiah 5:20-25
New International Version
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.
23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious(I) hearts;
they have turned aside(J) and gone away.
24 They do not say to themselves,
‘Let us fear(K) the Lord our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains(L) in season,
who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’(M)
25 Your wrongdoings have kept these away;
your sins have deprived you of good.(N)
