Jeremiah 5:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ Tell this message to the descendants of Jacob.
    Shout it everywhere in Judah.
²¹ Tell them, “Hear this message,
    you foolish and stupid people.
You have eyes, but you do not see properly.
    You have ears, but you do not hear properly.” ’
²² The Lord says, ‘You should respect me and obey me.
    You should shake with fear when you come to me.
I made the sand as an edge for the sea.
    It is like a wall that the sea cannot cross.
The sea's waves may attack the shore,
    but it cannot go further than that edge.
