²⁰ “Declare this in the house of Jacob,
    and proclaim it in Judah, saying,
²¹ ‘Hear this please, O foolish and senseless^[a] people,
    who have eyes^[b] but do not see,
    who have ears^[c] but do not hear.’
²² Do you not revere me?” declares^[d] Yahweh,
    “Do you not tremble before me?^[e]
For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
    as an everlasting limit,^[f] and it cannot pass over it,
and they rise and fall loudly, but they cannot prevail,
    and its waves roar, but they cannot pass over it.
²³ But for this people is a stubborn and rebellious heart,
    they have turned aside and have gone away.
²⁴ And they do not say in their hearts,
    ‘Let us fear please Yahweh our God,
the one who gives the autumn rain^[g] and the spring rain^[h] in its season,
    the set times of the harvest^[i] he keeps for us.’
²⁵ Your iniquities have disturbed these,
    and your sins have kept away the good from you.
