Verse 22
Jeremiah 5:22
Bible in Basic English
22
Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

English Translation
Do not fear My sign, says the LORD; if My presence does not cause you to tremble, for I have set the sand as a boundary for the sea, an eternal decree, and it shall not pass over; though it may roar and surge, it will not prevail, and though its waves may roar, they will not pass over.
