20 Declare this in the house of Jacob and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Hear now this, O foolish people and without heart, who have eyes and do not see; who have ears, and do not hear:
22 Do ye not fear me? saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence, who placed the sand for the bound of the sea by an eternal order, which cannot be broken? Storms shall raise themselves up, yet they shall not prevail; their waves shall roar, yet they shall not pass over it.
23 But this people have a false and rebellious heart; they turned and went.
24 Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God that gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; he shall keep us with the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
26 For among my people were found wicked men: they lay in wait as he that sets snares; they set a trap of perdition to catch men.
