Extract from the Good Book

Jeremiah 5:21-25

²¹ Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,
who have eyes but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:
²² Should you not fear me?
Should you not tremble in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar, but they cannot cross it.
²³ But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts;
they have turned aside and gone away.
²⁴ They do not say to themselves,
‘Let us fear the LORD our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains in season,
who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’
²⁵ Your wrongdoings have kept these away;
your sins have deprived you of good.
