Jeremiah 5:20-25

New American Standard Bible

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.
²³ But this people has a ^(D)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed.
²⁴ They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who ^(E)gives rain in its season,
Both ^(F)the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The ^(G)appointed weeks of the harvest.”
²⁵ Your ^(H)wrongdoings have turned these away,
And your sins have kept good away from you.
