• Jeremiah 5:22
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 22 ‘Do you not fear me?’ declares Jehovah,

      ‘Should you not tremble before me?

      It is I who placed the sand as the boundary for the sea,

      A permanent regulation that it cannot pass over.

      Although its waves toss, they cannot prevail;

      Although they roar, they still cannot pass beyond it.+

    The Bible in Living English

    • 22 Will you not fear me, quoth Jehovah, or be in trepidation before me, who have made sand a limit for the sea, a perpetual mark that it is not to pass? its waves roll but can do nothing, roar but do not pass it.
