Jeremiah 5:20-25

Living Bible

²⁰ Make this announcement to Judah and to Israel:

²¹ Listen, O foolish, senseless people—you with the eyes that do not see and the ears that do not listen— ²² have you no respect at all for me? the Lord God asks. How can it be that you don’t even tremble in my presence? I set the shorelines of the world by perpetual decrees, so that the oceans, though they toss and roar, can never pass those bounds. Isn’t such a God to be feared and worshiped?

^23-24 But my people have rebellious hearts; they have turned against me and gone off into idolatry. Though I am the one who gives them rain each year in spring and fall and sends the harvesttimes, yet they have no respect or fear for me. ²⁵ And so I have taken away these wondrous blessings from them. This sin has robbed them of all of these good things.
