The Lord Warns a Stubborn People

20 “Declare this to the descendants[a] of Jacob,
    and proclaim it in Judah:
21 ‘Hear this, you foolish and stupid people:
    They have eyes, but don’t see;
        they have ears, but don’t hear.
22 ‘You don’t fear me, do you?’ declares the Lord.
    ‘You don’t tremble before me, do you?
I’m the one who put the sand as a boundary for the sea,
    a perpetual barrier that it cannot cross.[b]
Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail against it,
    though they roar, they cannot cross it.’
