21
Hear this,
you foolish and senseless(a) people.(A)
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
They have ears, but they don’t hear.(B)
22
Do you not fear Me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Do you not tremble before Me,
the One who set the sand as the boundary of the sea,
an enduring barrier that it cannot cross?(C)
The waves surge, but they cannot prevail.
They roar but cannot pass over it.
