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.
