Jeremiah 5:18-23

" Yes even in those days," declares the Lord. " I will not destroy you completely. And when the people ask, " Why has the Lord our God done all this to us? ' you will tell them, ' As you have forsaken me and served other gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own. " Announce this to the house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah: Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear: Should you not fear me? " declares the Lord. " Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand 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. But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and one away.
