Jeremiah 5:24

Gratitude Fear Creation

²² Do you not fear Me?” declares the LORD. “Do you not tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves surge, but they cannot prevail. They roar but cannot cross it.

²³ But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts. They have turned aside and gone away.

They have not said in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the LORD our God, who gives the rains, both autumn and spring, in season, who keeps for us the appointed weeks of harvest.’

²⁵ Your iniquities have diverted these from you; your sins have deprived you of My bounty.

²⁶ For among My people are wicked men; they watch like fowlers lying in wait; they set a trap to catch men.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
