Jeremiah 5:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Declare this in the house of Jacob,
    proclaim it in Judah:
²¹ Hear this, O foolish and senseless people,
    who have eyes, but do not see,
    who have ears, but do not hear.
²² Do you not fear me? says the Lord;
    Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
    a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail,
    though they roar, they cannot pass over it.
