Jeremiah 5:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ “Announce this message to the family of Jacob.
    And tell it to the nation of Judah:
²¹ Hear this message, you foolish people who have no sense.
    You have eyes, but you don’t really see.
    You have ears, but you don’t really listen.
²² Surely you are afraid of me,” says the Lord.
    “You should shake with fear in my presence.
I am the one who made the beaches to be a border for the sea.
    They keep the water in its place forever.
The waves may pound the beach, but they can’t win over it.
    The waves may roar,
    but they cannot go beyond it.
