Jeremiah 5:20-25
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and [a]without understanding, which have (A)eyes and see not, which have ears and hear not.
22 Fear ye not me, saith the Lord? or will ye not be afraid at my presence, which have placed the sand for the (B)bounds of the sea by the perpetual decree that it cannot pass it, and though the waves thereof rage, yet can they not prevail, though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23 But this people hath an unfaithful and rebellious heart: they are departed and gone.
24 For they say not in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain both early and late in due season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 Yet your [b]iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have hindered good things from you.
