Context of Jeremiah 5:23
21Hear now this, O foolish and heartless people, who have eyes and see not; who have ears, and hear not. 22Will ye not fear me? saith Jehovah. Will ye not tremble at my presence, who have set the sand a bound for the sea by a perpetual decree, and it shall not pass it? and its waves toss themselves, but they do not prevail; and they roar, yet can they not pass over it? But this people hath a stubborn and a rebellious heart; they have turned aside and are gone. 24And they say not in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, that giveth rain, both the early and the latter, in its season; who preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of harvest. 25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden from you what is good.
