Jeremiah 5:20-22
Lexham English Bible
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.
