Jeremiah 5:18-23
New International Version
Jeremiah 5:18-23
New International Version
18 “Yet even in those days,” declares the Lord, “I will not destroy(A) you completely. 19 And when the people ask,(B) ‘Why has the Lord our God done all this to us?’ you will tell them, ‘As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods(C) in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners(D) in a land not your own.’
20 “Announce this to the descendants of Jacob
and proclaim(E) it in Judah:
21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,(F)
who have eyes(G) but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:(H)
22 Should you not fear(I) me?” declares the Lord.
“Should you not tremble(J) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,(K)
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar,(L) but they cannot cross it.
23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious(M) hearts;
they have turned aside(N) and gone away.

Jeremiah 5:18-23
King James Version
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's.
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:
22 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.
