Jeremiah 5:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Listen, you foolish and senseless people,
    who have eyes but don’t see
        and ears but don’t hear.
²² Shouldn’t you fear me,
        declares the Lord,
    and tremble before me,
        the one who set the shoreline for the sea,
        an ancient boundary that it can’t pass?
Though its waves may rise and roar,
    they can’t pass the limits I have set.
²³ And yet the people have stubborn and rebellious hearts;
    they turn and go their own way.
