Jeremiah 5:20-22
American Standard Version
20 Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without [a]understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not: 22 Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, [b]by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.

Jeremiah 5:20-22
New International Version
20 “Announce this to the descendants of Jacob
and proclaim(A) it in Judah:
21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,(B)
who have eyes(C) but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:(D)
22 Should you not fear(E) me?” declares the Lord.
“Should you not tremble(F) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,(G)
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar,(H) but they cannot cross it.
