Jeremiah 5:22

20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea 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?

23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Vil dere ikke frykte meg, sier Herren, vil dere ikke beve for mitt åsyn? Jeg som har satt sanden til grense for havet, til en evig demning som det ikke kan komme over, så om bølgene raser, makter de intet, og om de bruser, kan de ikke komme over den.
