Jeremiah 5:22

Context

5:22 “You should fear me!” says the Lord.

“You should tremble in awe before me! 1 

I made the sand to be a boundary for the sea,

a permanent barrier that it can never cross.

Its waves may roll, but they can never prevail.

They may roar, but they can never cross beyond that boundary.” 2 

1 tn Heb “Should you not fear me? Should you not tremble in awe before me?” The rhetorical questions expect the answer explicit in the translation.

2 tn Heb “it.” The referent is made explicit to avoid any possible confusion.
